Title: Fusion of hard and soft control strategies in biomedical engineering: robotic/prosthetic hand

Biography

Biography: D Subbaram Naidu

Abstract

There are now over 20 million people in the world with missing limbs resulting from combat and non-combat operations and by 2050 there will be 50 million amputees all over the world. The availability of artificial limbs will help these people to lead a better normal life. The overall goal of the research on prosthetic hand technology is to develop a smart prosthetic hand using intelligent strategies for electromyography (EMG) signal extraction, analysis, identification, kinematic synthesis, and embedded hierarchical real-time systems and control by fusion of soft computing and hard computing techniques. The fusion of soft and hard control synergetic strategy alleviates the present problems associated with prosthetic devices. A highlight of the presentation is to reenact the recent (2016-August-12) TED talk on 3-D printed prosthetic hand for the world given by Professor Naidu.
