Virtual Prosthetic Limb System
First Claim
1. A system for configuring a prosthetic limb for use by a living being, comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured toreceive a control signal generated in response to a command from said living beinggenerate a plurality of virtual bodies on a display including a plurality of members of a virtual prosthetic limb and at least one virtual object;
control movement of at least a first member of said plurality of members of said virtual prosthetic limb responsive to said control signal;
determine a contact force between first and second virtual bodies of said plurality of virtual bodies upon engagement between said first and second virtual bodies caused by movement of one of said at least a first member of said virtual prosthetic limb and said at least one virtual object; and
,adjust a position of at least one of said first and second virtual bodies responsive to said contact force.

Abstract
A system for configuring a prosthetic limb for use by a living being is provided. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to receive a control signal generated in response to a command from the living being and to generate a plurality of virtual bodies on a display including members of a virtual prosthetic limb and at least one virtual object. The ECU is further configured to control movement of at least one member of the virtual limb responsive to the control signal, to determine a contact force between first and second virtual bodies of the plurality of virtual bodies upon engagement between the first and second bodies caused by movement of one of the one member of the virtual limb and the at least one virtual object and to adjust a position of at least one of the first and second bodies responsive to the contact force.
