AI prosthetic from Canada analyzes objects and decides how to grasp them

Artificial intelligence gives prosthetics independence! Scientists from Memorial University of Newfoundland created a revolutionary arm prosthetic that literally “thinks” for itself. Unlike traditional models that require reading muscle signals through sensors, the new device is completely autonomous.

Imagine. The user simply needs to bring their hand close to an object, and the built-in camera and neural network do everything else! The artificial intelligence analyzes the object in real time. Then makes a decision about the type of grip and necessary force. The model training was conducted on video recordings of the prototype’s interaction with various objects – from water bottles to ping-pong balls.

The results are impressive. The system correctly grasps 95% of objects. Including those it never saw during training. Co-author of the development Xianta Jiang emphasizes that such an approach makes prosthetic use intuitive and reliable. People will be able to perform everyday actions. Lift cups, open doors. And all this naturally and without the need to concentrate on every movement.
