Bionics and cybernetics have been called the two sides of the same coin. Both use models of living systems, bionics in order to find new ideas for useful artificial machines and systems, cybernetics to seek the explanation of living beings' behaviour.

Arm: A Brain-Controlled Limb

The prosthesis is mind-controlled, via the electrical muscle and nerve signals sent through the arm stump and captured by the electrodes. The signals are passed into the implant, which goes through the skin and connects to the prosthesis. The signals are then interpreted by an embedded control system developed by the researchers. The control system is small enough to fit inside the prosthesis and it processes the signals using sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms, resulting in control signals for the prosthetic hand's movements.

The touch sensations arise from force sensors in the prosthetic thumb. The signals from the sensors are converted by the control system in the prosthesis into electrical signals which are sent to stimulate a nerve in the arm stump. The nerve leads to the brain, which then perceives the pressure levels against the hand.

The neuromusculoskeletal implant can connect to any commercially available arm prosthesis, allowing them to operate more effectively.

Hand : Strength Bionics

Robotics and prosthetics designers have been making great advances in the power, sensitivity and humanity of their creations. Case in point: The Neha-Limb is a new bionic arm that allows users to handle heavy objects or delicate items, as well as customize the grips to fit their needs.

Lower Leg/Foot

Bionic limbs typically work by detecting signals from the user’s muscles. For example, when a person puts on their bionic limb and flexes the muscles above or below the limb, sensors will react to elicit the appropriate movement. Bionic limbs are often equipped with sensors to detect these muscle movements. So, for example, say you have a bionic arm. When you put on the arm, you flex the muscles you normally would to open your hand. This sends a signal to the sensors in the bionic arm to flex the hand.

Most bionic limbs have built-in computers that detect the muscle signals. Some bionic limbs require sensors to be implanted into the remaining muscles of the limb stump. This type of bionic limb is much more advanced and can allow users to control the limb with their minds. For example, you may think about moving your leg and your bionic leg will respond by moving.

Knee-Ankle Coordination Prosthesis

Many bionic limbs are considered “plug and play,” which means they can be put on and taken off with ease and used only when needed. Bionic limbs do not require surgery to work, but many limbs are custom-built to the specifications of the users’ muscles.

This type of prosthetic limb gives users maximum control and adapts to how quickly or slowly the muscles tense. When the muscles are tensed more gently, the bionic limb will respond slower. When muscles are tensed quickly, the limb will react faster.

There is a significant difference between prosthetic and bionic limbs. Cosmetic prosthetic limbs, which are the basic prosthetic products available, provide very little or no functionality and are simply worn to give a natural appearance of a limb. These limbs are not able to actively move, and they require the user to rely on their body to move the limb.

Functional prosthetics are a step up from cosmetic or passive prosthetics but still require body power to move. Functional prosthetics are typically available in both body-powered and electrically powered forms, with the electrically powered option relying on batteries and motors to power movements. This type of prosthetic will react based on detected muscle movements in the residual limb or upper body.

Animal Limbs

In recent years the technology used to fabricate prosthetic limbs for humans has been applied to animals. Originally this was a novelty, but has now progressed to a solid science called Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics (V-OP). Animals can adapt to and thrive with prosthetic limbs.

What are animal prosthetics made of? Animal prosthetics can be made from various materials depending on the design and need for the prosthetic. For example, some prosthetic limbs can be made from plastic or titanium either molded or more usually, 3D printed
