SubsidieMeestersWearable Integrated Soft Haptic Display for Prosthetics
Develop a wearable fluidic force feedback device for prostheses to enhance tactile sensation and usability, aiming for broad application and increased technology readiness for market integration.
Projectdetails
Introduction
In this ERC Proof of Concept, we want to develop a wearable fluidic force feedback device for upper and lower limb prostheses, composed of soft silicone chambers along with their actuation and control units, to exert pressures in multiple specific stump sites.
Project Overview
This solution, named Wearable Integrated Soft Haptic device (WISH), strives to achieve both good modality matching (MM) and somatotopic matching (SM), while keeping non-invasive and practicable. The principle, preliminarily demonstrated on a single subject and one prosthesis type to display one type of force/tactile information, has the potential to generalize in several directions.
Goals
Our goal is to transform WISH into a technology platform supporting different devices for different types of prostheses available in the market, for both upper and lower limbs.
Collaboration and User Involvement
We will depend on user involvement, team with hospitals and rehabilitation units, and work with companies producing prostheses (see endorsement letters) to acquire domain-specific knowledge and to test our devices in real use cases.
Technology Readiness Level
Through this project, our Technology Readiness Level will increase from 3 to 4/5 and enable us to apply for an EIC Transition for subsequent development and validation in a larger cohort.
Unique Opportunity
To the best of our knowledge, no other haptic display technology for prosthesis users has ever reached such maturity and readiness level, which makes this opportunity unique.
