This is a live demonstration of the work described in [l]. The paper ID of this submission is 1292. The goal of this work is to maintain specific pressures on the model residual limb (MRL) to counteract the pressure changes caused by loading/limb movement. Custom textile force sensors are embedded in between the air bladders and the socket. These force sensors communicate with the fluidic control...
During grasping or natural movement a prosthesis experiences varying loads, which can directly impact the comfort and fit of a socket on the user's residual limb. To alleviate this issue, four independent air bladders were integrated in a custom prosthetic socket, which contacted a model residual limb. The purpose of the bladders was to maintain specific pressures on the model residual limb to counteract...
This is a live demonstration of the work described in [1]. The paper ID of this submission is 1634. The goal of this work is to use a neuromorphic model for providing tactile feedback to a prosthetic hand to improve grasping functionality. Custom force sensors are placed on the fingertips of a bebionc3 (Steeper, Leeds, UK) prosthetic hand and communicate with the prosthesis controller (Infinite Biomedical...
Limb tracking is an important aspect of human-machine interfaces (HMI). These systems, however, can often be limited by complex algorithms requiring significant processing power, obtrusive and immobile sensing techniques, and high costs. In this work, we utilize a sensor fusion algorithm implemented in commercial inertial measurement units (IMU) to combine accelerometer and gyroscope measurements...
Last year, an epilepsy patient awaiting brain surgery at the renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital occupied her time with an unusual activity. While doctors and neuroscientists clustered around, she repeatedly reached toward a video screen, which showed a small orange ball on a table. As she extended her hand, a robotic arm across the room also reached forward and grasped the actual orange ball on the actual...
Neuroengineering and neuroscience frontiers are being discussed in this report. The forum for grand challenges in neuroengineering that took place in Washington, DC, on May 7-8, 2010. The major themes covered were: brain-machine interface, decoding brain activity, brain as computer-information processor, reverse engineering the brain and functional neuroimaging.
