University of Tulsa students apply artificial intelligence to prosthetic research

Mechanical engineering students at the University of Tulsa are applying artificial intelligence and biomechanics research to improve prosthetic limb performance, The University of Tulsa reported. The project aims to assist individuals who rely on prosthetics to live more comfortably. [1]

The research takes place in the biomechanics laboratory of John M. Henshaw, who serves as the department head of mechanical engineering and the Harry H. Rogers Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering. The University of Tulsa reported that students from multiple disciplines are combining engineering, healthcare, and machine learning to understand why certain prosthetic devices offer better comfort than others.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly used across scientific fields for decision-making and data analysis. These technologies allow researchers to process complex biometric information to evaluate prosthetic functionality. [1][2]
