portfolio: Prosthetic Haptic Interface System Project

gallery

the pictures and videos below show the evolution of the fingertip sensor and the haptic tactor that were developed for use by target reinnervated patients (TRI) under the DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics program. Although, TRI patients were the motivation for this haptic system, it can also be used and provide functional feedback to all amputees.
