Zusammenfassung:The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 program tasked APL with developing a neurally controlled prosthesis to restore function and dexterity to soldiers with upper-arm amputations. The result of this program is the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL), which is currently undergoing testing at the University of Pittsburgh and the California Institute of Technology with humans and nonhuman primates. In this article, we provide an overview of the human-machine interface (HMI) between the MPL and patients and discuss how the inherent flexibility of the MPL's control architecture is able to support varying HMI paradigms.
