November 2014: Dr. Otto quoted as expert on neuroprostheses in Nature news article
Dr. Kevin Otto was recently quoted in a Nature news article titled, “Artificial arms get closer to the real thing”. Powered prosthetic hands and arms have advanced little in the last 50 years. Their appearance and structure have improved, but advances in underlying function and control have been harder to come by. In a pair […]
August 2014: The NPRLab has moved to the University of Florida.
