University of Queensland student developing AI-assisted robotic prosthetic
University of Queensland student Nat Marshall is developing a wearable device that will control robotic prosthetics with artificial intelligence (AI).
Key points:
The engineering and physics major wants to smooth out the current user experience for people with upper-limb difference.
AI refers to a computer that can imitate a human mind by learning from experience and practice to recognise objects, solve problems or make decisions.
Using people with fully functional upper limbs, Mr Marshall’s device will be trained to understand how muscles and tendons inform hand movements.
The device will then be transferred to a person with an upper-limb deficit and, using its AI, best guess the movements they are trying to perform.
