Context
In 2019 a start-up developing an active upper-limb prosthesis, a powered robotic arm for people with upper-limb loss, engaged Ambimat on the electronics of the arm’s control system.
Requirement
- A control system for a robotic arm to be used by an upper-limb amputee
- Keep the cost of the prosthesis down
Ambimat’s work
Ambimat designed and developed the hardware of the prosthesis’s control system.
Validation
The device passed device-level pre-certification testing at the first attempt. This was testing of the customer’s device; it is not a certification held by Ambimat.
Stages this engagement covered
- Requirement: a control system for an active upper-limb prosthesis, with cost reduction in mind
- Engineering: design and development of the control-system hardware
- Validation: device-level pre-certification testing, passed at the first attempt
This case is not presented as evidence of a clinical pilot, certification, production or volume manufacturing of the device.
