World’s Most Advanced Bionic Hand

The NEBIAS Project - NEurocontrolled BIdirectional Artificial upper limb and hand prosthesIS – is comprised of a multi-disciplinary researchers among materials, computer and neuro-sciences, biomedical microtechnology and electronic engineering, who collaborated to achieve a prosthetic hand that can enable natural sensation and motion.  After ten years, the world’s most advanced bionic hand, which provides a sense of touch acute enough to handle an egg, has been completed.  It features a new neural interface to provide sensory information from an artificial hand to the brain. This interface is able to link the patient's nervous system with the artificial sensors, embedded in the prosthesis, enabling the user to control complex hand and finger movements.
