This project explores the feasibility of building close-to-natural prosthetic hands for amputees in a soft-robotics approach. The proposed research will investigate approaches of making artificial muscles using a novel visible light-responsive thermoplastic elastomer, so that robotic hands constructed with this material can have muscle-like flexible and viscoelastic properties, where fast, precise spatial and temporal control can be achieved with miniaturised light source such as LEDs. Furthermore, the prosthetic hand will be connected with a wearable, impedance-based human-brain interface, where user's intention of movement can be decoded from measuring the impedance of the upper limb muscle groups in real time, from which patterns of impedance change associated to specific hand movement can be extracted and classified to control the prosthetic hand.

该项目探讨了在软机器人方法中为截肢者建立近距离假肢的可行性。拟议的研究将研究使用一种新型的可见光响应性热塑性弹性体制作人造肌肉的方法，以便用这种材料构建的机器人手可以具有类似肌肉的柔性和粘弹性的特性，在这些特性中，可以通过诸如LED这样的微型光源来实现快速，精确的空间和时间控制。此外，假肢将与可穿戴的，基于阻抗的人脑界面相连，在该界面中，可以通过实时测量上肢肌肉群的阻抗来解码，从中可以从中从中提取并分类与特定手机相关的阻抗变化模式，以控制假言。
