OPP is seeking to encourage experimentation with myoelectric control in order to inspire more rapid development of mechatronic prostheses for amputees. Because of the extremely small market size for upper extremity we think that one way to encourage this activity is to develop toys or user customizable devices that are capable of myoelectric signal processing. With wider access and experimentation with the perhaps we could see interesting developments beyond the traditional venues of corporate and educational institutional research. Two possibilities that we are considering are the development of an open hardware module for the Buglabs with some more details and a sensor module for the LEGO NXT platform. LEGO has made it this time for third party developers to make their such as from or extremely far from what are usually considered desirable characteristics for appropriate developments of this type have the potential to allow application in the developing particularly if low cost were achieved through the mass production of a toy or personal electronic device availability in the developing far as what sort of mechatronic hand might be controlled in such a we are considering two possibilities. a is working on a hand made with LEGO which furthers the toy idea described with the use of could actually be we imagine that there is somewhere out there a human-scale robotic manipulator that could be repurposed for prosthetic use. Please let us know of one if you find it. The Barrett for is about 1.5 and is just too heavy for someone to in addition to costing at least if I remember correctly. This one at the Ishikawa Namiki Laboratory is one of the coolest things ever and there are some great videos of it catching spinning a pen and got a couple of partners othis project.
