Improving Control of Robotic Hand Prostheses

This project uses a computer algorithm that can learn patterns and determine what movement the user intends to make. The user can thus control the prosthesis.

Research Project

Advanced Control System for Powered Prostheses

Advanced Control Systems for Powered Prosthetic Legs

Robotic powered prostheses have a number of built-in mechanical sensors that can gather information about the position, angle, and force exerted by the prosthetic joints.

Research Project

RIC Arm

Powered Prosthetic Arm

The Center for Bionic Medicine designed a powered prosthetic arm that is specifically designed to be smaller and lighter than currently available prostheses.
