Philosophy for a Simulated Prosthetic Hand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multifingered robot hands can approximate human hand functionality, and it is possible to consider their use in prosthetics. The Belgrade/USC robot hand is used as a prototype prosthetic hand in order to evaluate a system, PRESHAPE, that translates user commands into motor signals using the virtual finger concept. This paper describes the control philosophy of PRESHAPE and presents simulation results.

Control philosophy and simulation of a robotic hand as a model for prosthetic hands
Multifingered robotic hands are attempts to approximate human hand characteristics and functionality, and it is reasonable to consider their possible adaptation and use in prosthetics and rehabilitation. The Belgrade/USC robot hand is used as a prototype prosthetic hand in order to evaluate a system that translates task-level commands into motor commands. Our system, PRESHAPE, uses the virtual ...
متن کاملOn the Development of EMG Control for a Prosthetic Hand
The human hand is a complex end-effector capable of an astonishingly large variety of postures. The ease with which the human hand seems to adapt to changing requirements is one of the challenges to the designer of a plausible substitute. At the Robotics Research Laboratory at USC there is an ongoing research project to covert an existing anthropomorphic, shape-adaptive robot hand into a viable...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Prosthetic Hand Operated by EEG Brain Signals and EMG Muscle Signals
The aim of this study is to develop a low cost prosthetic hand for the people of third world countries. In most cases the prosthesis requires surgery and very costly sensors which is not feasible for poor people. So a new approach is introduced in our study where Electroencephalography sensor and Electromyography sensor is used as a combination to receive necessary brain and muscle signals resp...
متن کاملThe evolution of the obturator framework design.
This brief overview of the progress and evolution of philosophies of obturator framework designs was accomplished by hand, as well as via Medline. It begins in 1530 ad with Ambrose Paré who described the first button-shaped sponge and metal obturator, and continues through the formation of the American Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics and the development of the specialty. It concludes with ...
متن کاملAssessment of Color Changes in Vita 3D-Master Shade Guide after Sterilization and Disinfection
Purpose:Dental shade guides are commonly used for color determination and should be disinfected and sterilized. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the color change of Vita 3D Master shade tabs after disinfection and sterilization. Material and methods:Overall, 98 samples (shade tabs) were randomly selected from 14 new, unused Vita 3D sets, including the following shades: 2M1, 3L1.5, 3M1,...
