An artificial hand built by the BioRobotics Institute (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna) is controlled by magnets embedded in the arm muscles. The voluntary contractions in the muscles move the magnets, and the change in magnetic field is translated into real-time motion. #Robotics #Prostheses #PhysicsToday https://lnkd.in/e_z3nba9
