DC14: Advancing Prosthetic Limb Control: Bridging the Gap Between Adaptability and Safety
Project: Advancing Prosthetic Limb Control: Bridging the Gap Between Adaptability and Safety (WP4)
Host institution: OBHP (Austria)
Supervisor:M.F. Russold
Co-supervisor(s): T. Seel (LUH), Prof. D. Pissoort (KU Leuven), Dr. M. F. Russold
Objectives:
Push forward prostehic limb technology by addressing current challenges in control.
Expected Results:
Investigate the potential of improved control strategies by using AI and computational technologies. Users will test the innovative and new control schemes in a home setting. Special focus will be given to safety and reliability of these new approaches.. Dxynamic and flexible control schemes that are adapting in real time to the situations of daily life will be evaluated and compared to current state of the art control schemes
Planned secondment(s):
- LUH (3 months, M13-M15): development of data fusion and learning algorithm with T. Seel (KPI: joint journal paper)
- KU Leuven (3 months, M29-M31): Evaluation of safety and reliability during runtime, with D. Pissoort (KPI: joint conference paper)
