(ANSA) – PISA, MAY 24 – A robotic hand operated with the muscle tissue of the limb and with an especially intuitive management system. It’s the SoftHand Professional developed by the College of Pisa and the Italian Institute of Know-how and introduced on the Robotics Competition, beginning this afternoon with a ceremony on the Leopolda Station in Pisa the place it’s scheduled till Could twenty sixth.
“It’s an progressive prosthetic hand – explains Manuel Catalano, researcher on the College of Pisa and the IIT – which has a posh and strong joint system like that of human palms and an especially intuitive management system with a single motor that strikes all joints of the hand and interacts safely with folks and the physique.” The prosthesis, added Maria Fossati, IIT designer, is “myoelectric and is activated by contracting with the inner and exterior muscle of the arm as in the event that they had been two buttons, opening and shutting it due to the expertise contained inside which permits it to maneuver with absolute naturalness”. “From a analysis standpoint – concluded Lucia Pallottino, director of the ‘Enrico Piaggio’ analysis heart of the College of Pisa – prosthetics come up from the research of the human being after which change into robotic limbs and prostheses as related as attainable to human ones. Additionally necessary is the research and analysis of the affect of prostheses on the one who makes use of them from a psychophysical standpoint to be comfy and emotionally accepted. That is extremely interdisciplinary analysis.” (HANDLE).
