The MIMICS project aims to enhance myoelectric prostheses for upper limb amputees by developing biomimetic models that simulate muscle dynamics and creating soft actuators for improved functionality. This approach seeks to provide a more natural and effective prosthetic experience.
Upper limb loss affects 94.000 individuals in Europe.
Advanced treatments rely on myoelectric prostheses controlled by amputees’ electromyograms or EMG.
Despite expected benefits, today's schemes provide limited re-gain of functionality and lack of bio-mimesis, i.e. they use: (1) direct mapping between EMG and prosthesis joint angle, disregarding underlying neuromusculoskeletal processes, and failing to generalize to unseen conditions (robustness lack), (2) stiff actuators not mimicking biologic…
