Abstract

This article describes the research phase aimed at the creation the sensorized smart prosthesis system to transradial amputees. The main focus of the article is on obtaining vibration frequency and amplitude that are individuality to user and which arise with the application of Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs). These sensors act as the artificial tactile mechanoreceptors. The micro vibrating motors incorporated in vibro-bracelet placed on the upper arm is used to transmit the sensation of grip force to an amputee. The signal transmission is provided by Bluetooth technology. Arduino was used as the tool for research work.
