研究兴趣

Dr. 菲特’s research interests lie in the area of dynamic systems and control, with specific focus in the design and control of electromechanical and fluid power systems. A major thrust of this work is in the development of self-powered human-scale robotic systems.

Applications of particular interest include upper and lower-extremity powered prosthetic limbs. The major goal of this work is the restoration of human-level functionality and performance to the amputee. One aspect in卷ves the design of prosthetic limbs capable of force and power outputs comparable to those of normal human limbs. Such designs require the integration of the power supply, 驱动系统, and control electronics all within the 卷umetric envelope of a normal human limb. Another component of the prosthesis development entails the development of the communication interface with the amputee. Current work is investigating the use of EMG-based control approaches where measured muscle activity in the residual limb is utilized as input commands to the prosthetic limb. The objective is an artificial limb which behaves as a natural extension of the amputee’s residual limb.

Other broad areas of interest include the development of power and actuation for portable power systems. The goal of this research is to improve upon the limitations inherent in battery-powered DC-motor actuated systems by investigating the use of alternative energy sources (e.g., compressed gas sources, liquid and solid propellants) and 驱动系统s (e.g., pneumatic and hydraulic actuators) that can be used to deliver controllable mechanical work outputs. Relevant applications include self-powered robots, 便携式电源和救援工具, 草坪养护设备.
