WUST News — A research team led by Professor Min Huasong from the School of Electronic Information at Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST), in collaboration with Associate Professor Li Shuguang's team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University and Professor Fang Bin's team from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, has developed an innovative soft myoelectric prosthetic hand. The related results have been published as the cover paper in the renowned international journal Advanced Intelligent Systems (Volume 7, Issue 5, 2025), under the title "A Robotic Prosthetic Hand for Computer Mouse Operations".

In this significant publication, Chen Ziming, a Ph.D. student from the School of Electronic Information at WUST, and He Yiming, a Ph.D. student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University, are co-first authors.

Addressing the challenges amputees face when using standard computer peripherals, the team achieved breakthroughs through two core innovations: first, the application of dexterous soft robotic fingers to enhance operational flexibility, and second, the development of a "one-to-many mapping" myoelectric interaction interface to optimize human-machine interaction logic. Experimental results indicate that this prosthetic hand not only significantly reduces task completion time but also greatly decreases the user’s muscle load and control burden. This work provides crucial theoretical support and engineering practice references for solving the interaction challenges between amputees and computers, highlighting the broad application prospects of soft robotic prosthetic technology in medical rehabilitation and beyond.
