INPUT - H2020 EU project to advance hand prosthetic control

<b>Abstract<br><br></b>INPUT is a European H2020 project (02/2016 - 02/2020) that focuses on advancing upper limb prosthetics by tackling the most significant aspects of successfully fitting such a device to a user: Improved socket for more comfortable fit and Wearing; Improved training to maximize the outcome with the patient; Improved recognition algorithms for better and more robust control; Improved evaluations to make sure that the devices are tested in clinically relevant scenarios.<br>We Will achieve this by increasing our theoretical knowledge<br>on the control generating mechanisms, by ample end user<br>testing (2 of the 4 project years are dedicated to user testing) and by implementing the project as an Innovation Action, meaning an increased focus on high market readiness.

<b>摘要<br><br></b>项目INPUT是欧盟H2020框架计划项目（2016年2月—2020年2月），聚焦于推进上肢假肢技术发展，攻克假肢适配用户过程中的核心痛点：优化假肢接受腔（prosthetic socket）以提升佩戴舒适度；优化康复训练方案以最大化患者的使用效果；优化识别算法以实现更优质、鲁棒性更强的设备控制；优化评估流程以确保设备在临床相关场景中完成测试。本项目将通过深化控制生成机制的理论研究、开展充分的终端用户测试（项目4年周期中有2年用于用户测试），并以创新行动（Innovation Action）模式推进项目——即着重提升产品的市场成熟度——来达成上述目标。
