Research
Technology covers what the system does today. This is what is still unsolved — the open questions behind each stage, and where our time actually goes.
Open questions
- 01
Signal acquisition
How biological signals are captured, amplified and conditioned. Electrode placement, contact stability, and rejecting the motion artefacts that make lab results fail in daily use. Surface EMG is our current working substrate — non-invasive, well characterised, and limited by what you can see through skin.
- 02
Machine learning
Models that map biosignal features onto intended movement, and that keep working as electrodes shift, muscles fatigue and the wearer changes over a session.
- 03
Prosthetic control
Turning a predicted intent into motion that feels immediate. Latency, proportional control, grip force, and failing safely when the decoder is uncertain.
- 04
Sensory feedback
Returning contact, pressure and position to the user. Today’s prostheses are largely open-loop. Closing that loop is a long-term problem, not something we have today.
