SBIR Phase I: Novel Control Paradigm for Upper Extremity Prosthetics

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目提出了一种新型假肢设备的开发以及控制它们的方法，以提供比目前可用的更多的类似人类的能力。与目前市场上有限的两个通道相比，该设备将提供多达八个通道的控制。这将为此类装置的控制提供一个新的标准范例，并允许更容易，用户友好的方法进入假手市场。这项研究的目标是将上肢假肢在近50年来的第一次真正进步推向市场。它通过提供比任何其他可用的手假体更大的功能来响应目标市场的基本需求。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes the development of a novel class of prosthetic devices and the means to control them to provide more human-like capabilities then currently available. The device will provide up to eight channels of control as compared to the limited two channels currently on the market. This will provide a new standard paradigm in the control of such devices and allow an easier, user-friendly approach to the prosthetic hand market.The goal of this research is to bring to market the first true advance in upper-limb prosthetics to come about in the last fifty years. It responds to the fundamental desire of its target market by providing greater functionality than any other hand prosthesis available.
