Goal

The goal of this team is to develop an arm prosthesis system - as robust, safe and comfortable as possible. We will be working on all the aspects of this comprehensive task: from intricate mechatronic subsystems to increasing the feeling of embodiment of the device by the user through closed-loop sensory substitution.

Current research topics:

• Mechatronic design of a lower-arm prosthesis

• EMG-based shared control

• Tactile sensors on the fingertips

• Machine learning for tactile sensing

• Sensory feedback
