This bionic arm has vision
Published on May 5, 2017
Researchers at Newcastle University are developing a prosthetic arm with a camera built into it, so the arm can see objects and pick them up in an appropriate manner automatically.
"Researchers develop 'seeing' bionic hand with 99p camera (https://news.sky.com/story/researchers-develop-seeing-bionic-hand-with-99p-camera-10861889)"
An amputee describes the device - which bypasses the usual prosthetic limb gripping process - as a "huge leap forward".
