Recent Projects

Microprocessor Designs was part of the Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 development team funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The project objective was to produce a prosthetic arm with functional capabilities similar to a human limb.   We were responsible for the development of the microcomputer based Finger Tip Sensor Node.  The design is prominently showcased in the January 2010 edition of National Geographic.

                         

 

The µPD team has also been working with iWalk, founded by Dr. Hugh Herr from the MIT Media Lab, to help develop the world's most advanced powered  prosthetic ankle and foot, PowerFoot One.  PowerFoot One foot is also depicted within the Bionic Body (left foot) shown in the National Geographic feature article.   This design has multiple DSPs responsible for algorithmic, inertial and motor control.

In conjunction with the development team at LPA Design, the team has been working on hardware, firmware and software to support the ControlTLtm system designed for wireless camera flash triggering control in the world renown PocketWizardtm  product family.
