Detailed design of a prototype prosthetic limb based on biomimetic principles has
been
completed. This paper will update the progress that has been made toward the creation
of a new,
high-performance limb. The limb uses antagonistic actuators with low and variable
stiffness to
create dynamics and interaction properties similar to those of a healthy arm. Theoretical
examination of the mechanical design has yielded several interesting results and an
accurate
estimate of the performance and improved efficiency levels of the limb. The results
have been
used to understand several fundamental issues regarding the design of such a limb.
Prototype
construction is underway and reflects overcoming several design challenges by careful
use of
standard components.
