Controle de um motor de corrente continua para uso em órteses e próteses

Abstract

The objective of this work is to contribute to the control system project ofthe prosthetic hand in development at UFMG. From a literature review on the control strategies used in hand prostheses, a control system was developed. An environment of simulation was created to assess the performance of routines implemented in the system. A bench testing was established to validate and verify the performance of the control system implemented. In this study, tests were conducted to simulate the slippingof an object in prosthetic hand and the performance of the control system to prevent it. The results showed that the control acted in a satisfactory manner, proving the feasibility of the strategies adopted in the project.
