Summary:Scientists have successfully tested new neuroprosthetic technology that combines robotic control with users' voluntary shared control for neuroprosthetic technologies.

EPFL scientists are developing new approaches for improved control of robotic hands- that combines individual finger control and automation for improved grasping and manipulation. this interdisciplinary proof-of-concept between neuroengineering and robotics was successfully tested on three amputees and seven healthy subjects. The results are published in today's issue of Nature Machine Intelligence.
