Researchers at the University of Melbourne are developing a robotic arm that could not only return full
movement to amputees, but may one day restore the sense of touch.
The research team is developing a prototype that will use 3D printed microchips to read electrical
signals in the brain, to control movement of the arm. Ultimately the team hopes signals will be able to
be transmitted back from the arm so that the user can ‘feel’ sensations such as strength and pressure.
Engineering PhD student Wenceslao Shaw-Cortez (USA) is working on the robotic prosthetic arm
project, focusing on grasp stability and object manipulation for the hand.
“The purpose of my work is to improve the quality of living of amputees by enhancing the capabilities
of future prosthetic hands.”
