Abstract

The efficiency, tactile features, and weight of prosthetic limbs have all improved over time, but the long charging period that comes with these benefits reduces their overall appeal. The purpose of this study is to incorporate a portable power source into the prosthetic arm in order to decrease downtime and increase reliability. The use of special footwear that serves as a regenerative power source for the prosthetic arm’s battery, a piezoelectric generator that generates energy while walking, and a charging station that transfers power directly to the prosthetic arm while on the move. The complete device allows the user to comfortably use the prosthetic arm for longer periods of time.
