Introduction:

Introduction:
× Approximately 200,000 amputations
occur each year and nearly 2 million
people are living with limb loss in the
United States alone and 300000+ in
India.
× In spite of advances in materials
science, electronics, batteries and
cosmetics products, limb prostheses
have still restricted use and functions,
mainly due to their conflicting design
requirements.
× Many robotics researchers have
developed various robotic Prosthetics
which have novel mechanisms and
designs.
× Goal is to create prosthesis with
human like functionalities for the
specially-abled with help of AI for
consistent efficiency and data
collection for further use.
× The 2 types of robotic legs studied:
o Humanoid legged robot
o Open-source Robotic Leg
× The 2 types of robotic hands studied:
• KU hybrid hand
• Prosthetic hand

o EMG sensors were used for
prosthetic limb control

o The control methods used for

converting EMG signals to Control
commands were as follows:
o 1) EMG signal measurement
(Invasive and non Invasive methods)
o 2) Signal preprocessing (Differential
mode with help of band pass filters)
o 3) Windowing schemes (Overlapping
and adjacent method)
o 4) Pattern Classification
o 5) Control Commands

× Establish the control algorithm of the leg
and hand for various pressures, angles
and positions tasks for the prosthetic leg.
× Tame the hardware system to verify
various walking styles and manipulation
algorithm.
× Widening the available datasets to
increase the accuracy level.
× Integrate an actuation system based on
a bracelet of micro motors to pull the
calf, thigh tendons, palm and fingers by
control of signals sent by brain or
muscles.
× Radiography can be used to design
the lower limb. It would increase its
human like appearance and behavior,
as well as give researches a better
reference point by directly comparing
human limb movement.
× Currently, there are two different AI
that are working independently on the
arm and the leg. In case of a multi-
limb prosthetic user, the motion of the
arm can be bought to synchronize
with that of the leg to make the gait of
the user appear more natural.
× Increasing the existing data set for
efficiency, error control, and accurate
results.
× Developing a revised prototype of
electrodes used to get residual limb of
an amputee subject

Future scope
and work

× A major challenge in limb prosthesis is clinical
robustness due to
× a) Effect of mobility on EMG-PR system
× b) Variation in muscle contraction force
× c) Variation in limb prosthesis during targeted
motion
× d) Electrode Shift during donning.

× Our aim is to work in advancement of sensor

technology, that could capture spatial
information associated with changes in
muscle shape could provide useful and stable
information from which limb movement intent
can be decoded.
× Such muscle shape change information can
serve as useful input to pattern recognition
based control system instead of the
traditionally utilized EMG signal

 Conclusion:
× With help of these prostheses lives can be
changed.
× The prosthetic must fit properly and not
consume much power.
× Torque, contact force, angles, pressure
and weight-ratios must be calculated
without any errors.
× Prosthetic limbs have a scope of
improvement by using AI and machine
learning to decide the intent of the user
× The efficiency of these algorithms is
very high and is only expected to
increase as time goes and more
research is conducted on this topic.

× The prosthesis should be capable of

maximum Human-like behavior.

× Maintenance should be easier.
