Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET)
Abstract
Wounded warriors with amputated limbs do not yet benefit from recent advances in prosthetic-limb technology because the interfaces used to extract limb-control information are low-performance and unreliable. The Reliable Neural-Interface Technology (RE-NET) program developed the technology and systems needed to reliably extract motor-control information at the scale and rate necessary to control state-of-the-art high-performance prosthetic limbs. The RE-NET program also developed and demonstrated a novel interface system that overcame the leading causes of neural interface degradation and failure. Through this focus on reliability, the RE-NET program enabled patient access to clinically relevant technology, improving the lives of wounded warriors suffering from single or multiple limb loss. The effort continues under the HaPTIx program contained in this project.
