Controlling a robotic limb with sensation after an amputation 🦾 |
How do you control a robotic limb? 🦾
"After an amputation, the muscles that used to be used for controlling hand movements are still there. So what we can do is connect to those with electromyography sensors (EMG), and we can pick of that activity to send to the prosthesis." Luke Osborn, neuroengineer at Johns Hopkins APL.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL have developed one of the world’s smallest, most intense and fastest refrigeration devices, the wearable thin-film thermoelectric cooler (TFTEC), and teamed with neuroscientists to help amputees perceive a sense of temperature with their phantom limbs.
