Presentation transcript:

The primary goal of the Air Muscle Artificial Limb project is to design, build, and control a robotic hand with realistic finger motions; all gesticulations are made possible via forces produced by pneumatic muscles. Dr. Kathleen Lamkin-Kennard, of the Bio-Mechanical Engineering Dept. at RIT, facilitated the project with specific product requirements and team guidance. In order to achieve the project objective, a team of engineers was divided into Design/Build, Controls, and Air Muscles sub-teams. During the initial stage of the project, three fingers were prototyped, control algorithms were created, and air muscles were characterized in order to produce a consistently and accurately controlled hand. The final product is an aluminum hand with index, middle, and ring phalanges that are capable of achieving four degrees of freedom (DOF): flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.
