Part 2/8:
Prosthetic limbs have come a long way over the past decades. Modern devices can emulate movement with impressive precision, yet they often lack the nuanced sensory capabilities of biological limbs. As Dr. Osborn remarks, controlling a prosthetic is just one part of the equation; feeling what the limb touches is another crucial aspect that remains largely unaddressed in commercially available devices.
Indeed, most prosthetic users rely solely on visual cues to interpret their environment, which can be limiting and sometimes unsafe. The absence of tactile feedback means they often bump into objects or apply inconsistent pressure, inadvertently causing damage or injury.
