MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541112676 A) filed by Sri Eshwar College Of Engineering, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 14, 2025, for 'self-adapting prosthetic limb with an integrated haptic feedback system for sensory restoration.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Praveen Kumar; and Ms. V. Niranjani.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A self-adapting prosthetic limb with an integrated haptic feedback system aims to restore sensation and autonomy to upper-limb amputees. A compact, efficient system architecture integrates an electromechanical prosthesis with tactile and kinesthetic feedback, sensorimotor encoding, and adaptive control strategies that enable self-adjustment during operation. Safety analysis, sensor requirements, and user-training protocols ensure comfortable and reliable operation. The innovation will enhance prosthesis performance beyond what is possible with haptic feedback or self-adapting control alone. Persistent prostheses with adequate feedback allow for greater autonomy, control, and safety. Despite decades of research, only the simplest haptic systems have made it to market, due to practical challenges in miniaturization, power management, and the psychological burden associated with an additional sensory stream. A novel approach combines a self-adapting control algorithm with haptic feedback to promote safe and efficient use without depending on constant perception."
