The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) of the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals for research,
development, system integration and demonstration of an upper
extremity prosthetic. The vision of the Prosthesis 2007 program is to
leverage recent research advances in neural sensing, control systems,
actuation, power storage and distribution, freeform manufacturing,
neural control, microfabrication, sensory feedback, flexure and
transmission design, signal processing, and information science to
dramatically improve the capability of upper extremity prosthetic
limbs beyond those that are currently available commercially. This
vision will be realized by increasing the range of motion, strength,
endurance, and dexterity of upper extremity prosthetic devices. The
final product must be ready for human clinical trials including
completed submission of an Investigational New Device (IND)
application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end
of 24 months. .................
