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.
