DeTOP

Project objectives

DeTOP is a research project funded under the European Union's framework program for research and innovation Horizon 2020, coordinated by Christian Cipriani at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, Italy.
DeTOP addresses the scientific, technological and clinical problem of recovering hand function after amputation. It aims to develop and clinically implement robotic, sensor and long-term interfacing technologies for next generation transradial prostheses. A fundamental part of the system is the bone-integrated human-machine interface (osseointegrated human-machine gateway: OHMG), a bone anchoring technique developed at the University of Gothenburg, capable of creating bidirectional connections between the human being and the robotic prosthesis. The main objective of DeTOP is to translate and evaluate an already validated technology for transhumeral amputation in the most frequent case of transradial amputation.
