Assistive Product Handprothese mit Temperaturgefühl

Sensing temperature and material type

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne have developed a hand prosthesis that can transmit temperature using innovative sensors. Tactile recognition of different materials is also possible.

For the prosthesis to work, it is necessary to determine which areas of the residual limb can transmit temperature information. The hand prosthesis can simply be slipped on.
