AI-Driven Smart Prosthetics with Real-Time Biomechanical Feedback

-

 AI-driven smart prosthetics represent one of the most transformative trends in biomechanical engineering. By integrating artificial intelligence, embedded sensors, and real-time data processing, next-generation prosthetic limbs can adapt dynamically to a user’s movement patterns and environmental conditions. These advanced systems use biomechanical feedback such as muscle signals (EMG), joint angles, pressure distribution, and gait analysis to optimize motion, balance, and comfort.




Unlike traditional prosthetics, smart prosthetic devices learn from the user’s walking style and continuously adjust stiffness, joint torque, and movement synchronization. Machine learning algorithms enable smoother transitions between activities like walking, running, climbing stairs, or standing. Real-time feedback also reduces energy expenditure and minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal strain or secondary injuries.

Current research focuses on improving neural interfaces, lightweight materials, battery efficiency, and cloud-connected monitoring systems for personalized rehabilitation. As wearable robotics and human–machine interaction technologies advance, AI-powered prosthetics are paving the way toward more natural mobility, enhanced independence, and improved quality of life for amputees.

Drone radar facilitates agricultural monitoring

-

  In agriculture, drones distribute seeds or fertilizers with precision, saving both time and money. When combined with sensors and artificial intelligence, they can perform remote sensing, similar to satellites and airplanes, monitor large crops, conduct detailed analyses of soil’s chemical elements, and identify issues such as erosion. One of the most advanced techniques in this field, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), has been enhanced by Radaz, a startup founded in 2017 at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and now based in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. “It’s an innovative technology with enormous potential to generate a wide variety of products, serving various market segments,” says electrical engineer Hugo Enrique Hernández Figueroa from UNICAMP’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC), who led the team responsible for developing a radar mounted on a small drone. To achieve this, the team had to miniaturize the radar’s electronic hardware and antennas. The id...

Japan to increase reliance on nuclear energy

-
Image
  Japan’s Cabinet has approved a new basic energy plan emphasising nuclear power and renewables as its primary carbon-free sources to ensure energy security and achieve net-zero emissions. The government revises its energy plan about every three years. The plan is based on the Basic Energy Policy Law enacted in June 2002. The new 7th Basic Energy Plan reverses the government’s earlier resolve to minimise reliance on nuclear energy following the 2011 Fukushima crisis. Nuclear power will account for about 20% of the Japan’s total energy output in fiscal 2040, similar to the fiscal 2030 target of 20-22% and a significant increase on the 8.5% in fiscal 2023. Electricity demand is expected to rise due in part to the prevalence of artificial intelligence and data centres. The government aims to meet high demand by easing requirements for replacing old reactors with new ones. When rebuilding at a plant site is not possible, power companies will be allowed to establish replacement reactors...
