Prosthetic hand for human interaction through haptic feedback

摘要

A prosthetic hand designed for human interaction to allow for the user to detect touch. This is done through capacitive touch sensing, through a weaved fabric or capacitive surface 2 attached to the prosthesis 6. When the surface is touched the information is delivered to the wearer through vibration, pressure, or heat as feedback using actuators 4. Pressure sensors 3 can be added to fingertips of the prosthesis. The micro-controller 1 processes all data and signalling between the sensors and actuators. The micro-controller is powered by a battery 5.
