    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Robotics
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Upper-limb amputees struggle with controlling advanced prosthetic arms.
    • Existing intelligent control methods and simulation platforms are limited for whole-arm prosthetics.
    • Current hardware and simulation tools are expensive and difficult to integrate with robotics frameworks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Prosthetic Arm Control Testbed (ProACT), a novel platform for evaluating intelligent control strategies for prosthetic arms.
    • To enable research in semi-autonomous control for complex whole-arm prostheses within an immersive simulation environment.
    • To provide an accessible, open-source platform for advancing prosthetic control research.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed ProACT, an Augmented Reality simulation testbed integrated with open-source robotics frameworks.
    • Utilized ProACT to conduct preliminary studies with non-amputee participants performing a Box-and-Blocks task.
    • Compared task performance with and without intent estimation to evaluate control strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated the feasibility of using ProACT for evaluating intelligent prosthetic arm control.
    • Preliminary studies provided insights into the effectiveness of intent estimation for prosthesis control.
    • The platform facilitates the study of sequential task modeling in wearable prosthetic arms.

    Conclusions:

    • ProACT is the first testbed for evaluating semi-autonomous control of whole-arm prostheses in simulation.
    • The platform supports research into intelligent prosthetics and informs future prosthesis design.
    • ProACT is available as an open-source resource to foster further research in the field.
