A minimalist approach

摘要

While current research efforts seek to develop a universal, "one-size fits all" robotically controlled prosthetic limb device, modeling and simulation will be integral to investigate a minimalist approach where each device is unique to a specific amputee. This approach offers the potential to reduce major cost drivers including the number of implantable sensors required, the amount of time and surgical labor required to "fit" an amputee, as well as the weight and power requirements of a robotically controlled prosthetic.
