  1. 1. Design and implementation of an energy harvesting system in a prosthetic limb

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ódinn K. Rúnarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy harvesting; Prosthetic limbs; Supercapacitors; Printed circuit boards; 3D printing; Energiinsamling; Lemmproteser; Superkondensatorer; Tryckta kretskort; 3D Utskrivning; Orkuöflun; Gervilimir; Ofurþéttar; Prentaðar rafrásir; Þrívíddarprentun;

    Abstract : Energy Harvesting, also known as power harvesting or ambient power, is the process of obtaining small amounts of power from secondary sources, such as vibrations, light, temperature variations and even radio-frequency emissions. These systems have been uncommon in personal and wearable electronics in the past, however they are slowly gaining traction. READ MORE

  3. 2. FPGA implementation of an sEMG classifier

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : William Marnfeldt; [2022]
    Keywords : electromyography; convolutional neural networks; classifier; field programmable gate array; prosthetic hand; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis discusses the implementation of a convolutional neural network on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It deals with implementation be describing a tool chain, starting with the designing of a model in Keras, transforming the model to Hardware Descriptive Language, and finally implementing it on an FPGA.

  4. 3. Control of 3D-printed Hand Prosthetic via Intra-body Fat Channel Communication

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Eric Trollsås; [2022]
    Keywords : Fat-IBC; IBAN; Prosthetics; ATE Phantom; Phantom Tissue; 3D-printing; ZigBee;

    Abstract : Intra-Body Communication (IBC) is a prospective technology where human tissue may be used as a signal medium in order to transmit useful data within the human body. Proposed applica- tions of this technology are prosthetics control or implanted device communication, potentially by establishing an Intra-Body Area Network (IBAN), which could further be enhanced by other IoT applications and 5G radio systems.

  5. 4. Development of software for digital manufacturing of children’s prosthetic arms for 3D-printing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Arantxa Juarez Perez; Lisa Phung; [2020]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; prosthetics; Grasshopper; process development; amputation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The conventional method to manufacture prosthetic arms is a time-\\consuming and complicated process. It is a process that has many manual steps that allow much room for human errors. With today's technology advancement it is possible to offer a more efficient technology that can replace the conventional manufacturing method of prostheses. READ MORE

  6. 5. Can electrical pulses be adapted to create life-like perceptions?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Carolina Rudervall; [2020]
    Keywords : nerve stimulation; electrical stimulation; sensations; TENS; perceptions; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressure and movement.
