| Research Abstract |
This study targets at developing a upper limb prosthesis with a bimanually coordinated motion in order to support to smoothly achieve two-handed tasks with the healthy arm and the upper limb prosthesis for above-elbow amputees, who lost their elbow or shoulder. The proposed system can automatically generate desired motion of the prosthesis in accordance with motion of the healthy arm and control the prosthesis to trace the desired motion. In this study, a real-time motion simulator has been developed to evaluate the motion generation system. A two-handed tasks in which a subject lifted up a tray with a healthy arm and a prosthesis has been conducted and its performanace has been analyzed.
