Development of a Mechatronic Prosthetic Limb with Sensory Feedback

Abstract

The development of mechatronic prosthetic limbs with sensory feedback has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to improve the quality of life for individuals with limb loss. This research aims to address the limitations of conventional prosthetic limbs by integrating advanced mechatronic systems with sensory feedback mechanisms. The objective is to create a prosthetic limb that can closely replicate the functionality and sensory experience of a natural limb, enhancing the user's proprioception, dexterity, and overall user satisfaction.To achieve this goal, a multidisciplinary approach combining mechanical engineering, electronics, robotics, and neuroscience is employed. The proposed mechatronic prosthetic limb comprises several key components, including sensors, actuators, control systems, and feedback mechanisms. The sensors are strategically placed on the prosthetic limb to capture various environmental and limb-related data, such as temperature, pressure, and position. These sensory inputs are then processed by the control system, which interprets the data and generates appropriate commands for the actuators. The development of a mechatronic prosthetic limb with sensory feedback represents a promising avenue for advancing the field of prosthetics. By combining multidisciplinary approaches, innovative technologies, and user-cantered design, this research aims to bridge the gap between conventional prosthetic limbs and the functionality of natural limbs. The potential impact of this work extends beyond the field of prosthetics and can contribute to the overa
