Scientists scan fingertips to build better robot hands

NCT ID NCT03072420

Summary

This study aimed to create better computer models of human fingertips by taking detailed MRI scans. Researchers scanned the index fingers of eight healthy volunteers while applying different amounts of pressure. The data will help engineers design more realistic robotic hands and prosthetic devices that can grip objects more naturally.
