Plenary
Lecture
Smart Prosthetic Hand Technology at Idaho State University
Professor D. Subbaram Naidu, PhD, PE, Fellow IEEE
Measurement and Control Engineering Research Center
Idaho State University, USA
E-mail:
naiduds@isu.edu
Abstract: Over 1.2 million people in America have missing limbs resulting
from combat and non-combat operations. The availability of artificial limbs will
help these people to lead a better normal life. The United States (US)
Department of Defense embarked on a research program to “fund prosthetics
research” to revolutionalize upper-body prosthetics and to develop artificial
arms that will “feel, look and perform” like a real arm guided by the central
nervous system.
The overall goal of the research on Smart Prosthetic Hand Technology that has
been going on at Idaho State University is to develop a smart prosthetic hand
using intelligent strategies for electromyographic (EMG) signal extraction,
analysis, identification, kinematic synthesis, and embedded hierarchical
real-time systems and control by fusion of soft computing and hard computing
techniques. A novel cellular in vitro model is developed to address putative
problems of cell signaling and biocompatibility. The identification algorithm
using a new sensor array, and a hybrid estimation algorithm are investigated and
different categories of amputation level are simulated. Strategies on grasping
and manipulation involving human-robot interaction are developed to complement
the EMG signals. The fusion of soft and hard control synergetic strategy
alleviates the present problems associated with prosthetic devices.
Investigations into the issues of the inflammatory responses of cells/tissues in
response to an artificial implant and the interference with signaling of the
artificial implant, the design of our in-vitro model ultimately improve the
design and construct a functional and biocompatible artificial limb. The
research includes both simulation and experimentation.
Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Desineni “Subbaram” Naidu received MTech and PhD degrees in Electrical
Engineering (Control Systems Engineering), from Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT), Kharagpur. Dr. Naidu taught and/or conducted research at IIT; Guidance
and Control Division at NASA Langley Research Center; Old Domain University;

Laboratory at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology; Nantong University (China);
the University of Western Australia in Perth, Center for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics at University of South Australia in Adelaide; Center for Applied and
Interdisciplinary Mathematics at East China Normal University (Shanghai, China).
Since 1990, Professor Naidu has been with Idaho State University, where he is
Director of School of Engineering and Director of Measurement and Control
Engineering Research Center. Professor Naidu received twice the Senior National
Research Council Associateship award from the US National Academy of Sciences,
and is an elected Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) and an elected Fellow of the World Innovation Foundation, UK. He has over
200 journal and conference publications including 6 books. He has been on the
editorial boards of several journals including the IEEE Transactions on
