9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Full Day Workshop
2023 IEEE World Haptics Conference
Venue: Mekelweg 5, 2628 CC, Delft - Room: Hasseltzaal
There is a divide between the reality of upper limb prostheses and the needs of prosthesis users, in terms of performance of the prostheses, usability, reliability and cost, as highlighted in a recent IEEE Spectrum article (https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-hand-design). In this workshop we aim to establish a set of guiding principles for researchers developing innovative haptic feedback solutions for upper-limb prostheses. The workshop features a strong focus on input from the end users, with participation from several prosthesis user. Presentations from researchers in the community will be followed by an interactive discussion with prosthesis users. We hope that the guidelines that emerge from this workshop will be used to create a core set of study outcomes that can be used to compare and combine future research on this topic. We plan to publish these guidelines and core outcomes in a follow-up consensus journal article.

CALL FOR POSTERS
We invite students and post-doctoral researchers to present their late-breaking research results in the form of posters in the workshop. We are specifically interested in work related to fundamental engineering research that improves the quality of life of prosthesis users, with a focus on solutions that address the lack of haptic feedback in myoelectric artificial hands. Topics that are adjacent to this focus area and results that have already been presented in other venues will also be considered.
Poster draft submissions are due June 30, 2023. Accepted posters will be notified of acceptance by June 4. Final presentation ready posters will be required by June 6 and will be displayed on the workshop website shortly thereafter. To submit a poster, please email edoardo.battaglia@utah.edu. The subject of the email and file name must be: WHC2023_HapticFeedbackULP_Poster_(last name of first author)”.
