MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441038142 A) filed by Meenakshi Patil; Cmr Institute Of Technology; Sachin Aralikatti; K C Lipika; Jayashree M; Endla Dheeraj Reddy; and Mohammed Haseeb Ulla, Muttur, Karnataka, on May 15, 2024, for 'designing an intuitive haptic prosthetic hand for thedisabled.'

Inventor(s) include Meenakshi Patil; Cmr Institute Technology; Sachin Aralikatti; K C Lipika; Jayashree M; Endla Dheeraj Reddy; and Mohammed Haseeb Ulla.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Artificial arms come in several forms and can be generically classified as electrical, mechanical, or myoelectric arms. The prosthetic component of a mechanical prosthesis is controlled by the user's bodily motions. On the other hand, electrical arms operate the hand through motors that are triggered by micro switches and relays. By mimicking the organic motion and capabilities of ahuman arm, these designs seek to improve the user's capacity to carry out routine chores more quickly and easily. The controller was programmed to identify different orders that were sent to the Arduino microcontroller inside the elbow and palm linked sensors, based on unique accelerometer and Bluetooth sensor data. Every order has a corresponding movement, such raising and lowering the hand or opening and closing the Elbow made sure the commands were clear and didn't overlap so the microcontroller could understand and carry out the planned movements precisely and without confusion. The efficacy of various movements based on motor activation was ascertained by testing and assessing various motor responses for their corresponding reaction times. This response time information, together with the related weight concerns, provide insightful information for creating prosthetic hands that are customized for particular uses and user requirements. This method essentially made it possible to precisely control and customize the movements of prosthetic hands according to individual needs, which set the stage for the creation of customized prosthetic solutions that were ideal for a range of functions and jobs."
