The artificial arms available today tend to require users to complete movements, often guided by visual feedback. While conventional prosthetics have helped limb deficient individuals become more able, their design has not taken advantage of the latest technology that can enable multiple independent movements. My research program, (Research Chair in Rehabilitation Cybernetics), aims to advance prosthetic technology by developing intelligent control systems that provide greater freedom, flexibility and ease of use. It aims to build on my work on the "Southampton Hand", (generally regarded as one of the world's more sophisticated prosthetic hands in clinical use), by studying novel prosthesis mechanisms, controllers and sensors.

如今可用的假臂往往需要使用者完成动作，通常是由视觉反馈引导的。虽然传统的假肢已经帮助肢体缺陷的人变得更有能力，但他们的设计并没有利用能够实现多个独立运动的最新技术。我的研究项目(康复控制论研究主席)旨在通过开发提供更大自由度、灵活性和易用性的智能控制系统来推动假肢技术的发展。它的目的是通过研究新的假肢机制、控制器和传感器，在我的工作基础上进一步发展我的“南安普顿手”(通常被认为是世界上临床使用的更复杂的假手之一)。
