WASHINGTON — Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a new strategy that could offer much more precise control of prosthetic limbs. After inserting tiny magnetic beads into muscle tissue, they can accurately measure the length of a muscle as it contracts. This measurement can be relayed to a robotic prosthesis within milliseconds. In a new study, “Magnetomicrometry,” appearing in the […]
