How AI can be integrated in a wrist prosthetic.

Started Aug. 11, 2025

Abstract or project description

This student’s project focuses on designing a prosthetic device for the wrist that restores essential movement, comfort, and usability for individuals with limb loss or impairment. The research emphasizes understanding wrist biomechanics, translating these into engineering requirements, and exploring different design approaches—mechanical, electromechanical, and myoelectric. Alongside conceptual design and CAD modeling, the project incorporates material selection, ergonomics, and user-centered considerations to ensure functionality and comfort. The outcome will be a detailed research paper supported by literature review, design development, and a proposed testing plan, culminating in a final prototype concept and presentation. This presentation will include a hypothetical view as to the design with real metal alloys to serve as materials.
