Graduate student Peyton Young works with a robotic arm controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals. Young has now developed a technique to use pressure measurements from muscles (force myography, FMG ...

Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

Electromyography (EMG) involves doctors using needles to detect electrical activity in the muscles. This test can confirm a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the ...

Witness the complex engineering behind a functional DIY exoskeleton that utilizes innovative hydrogen-powered artificial ...

Experimental armband can measure both electrical (top row) and pressure signals from arm muscles. Signals from either or both sensors were fed into an algorithm as participants moved their hands with ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will make it easier for people with amputations to ...
