Customize extended artificial lower-limbs for dancers by personal data with six-axis 3D printing technology

3D打印等增材制造技术的出现提高了生产个性化可穿戴肢体的可能性，这些肢体可以根据个人的身体进行定制。与此同时，轻型摄像头和计算机视觉技术的普及，以及其他无处不在的传感器和越来越小的支持wifi的计算平台，表明未来的假肢可以表现得更智能，例如将其抓握机制适应他们可以看到的特定物体。该博士将采用以用户为中心的方法来设计未来的假肢，寻求了解用户如何实际参与日常世界，特别是他们必须克服的许多日常挑战，然后在新假肢的设计中反映这些，这些假肢结合了联合收割机增材制造，计算机视觉和其他技术。

The emergence of additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing raises the possibility of producing personalized wearable limbs that are tailored to fit the bodies of individuals. In parallel, the spread of lightweight cameras and computer vision techniques together with other ubiquitous sensors and ever-smaller wifi- enabled computing platforms suggest that future prosthetics could behave more smartly, for example adapting their gripping mechanisms to specific objects that they can see. This PhD will adopt a user-centred approach to the design of future prosthetics, seeking to understand how users actually engage with the everyday world, especially the many everyday challenges that they must overcome, and then reflecting these in the design of new prosthetics that combine additive manufacturing, computer vision and possibly other technologies.
