panda_prosthesis

This repository gathers controllers centered around the development and evaluation of Orthosis medical devices. It contains two controllers:

• PandaProsthesis is a controller dedicated to the evaluation of BoneTag's capacitive sensors. The aim is to provide non-invasive imaging of in-patient knee prosthesis.
• PandaBrace is a controller dedicated to the evaluation of experiemental medical Orthosis devices. The aim is to use a robotics setup to quantify how an Orhosis reduces the applied forces on the knee joints.

Building with superbuild

You can add the panda-prosthesis-superbuild to your superbuild extension folder:

The following options are available:

• WITH_PANDA_BRACE:BOOL: Whether to build the PandaBrace controller and its related dependencies
• WITH_MC_RTC_ATI_DAQ:BOOL: [optional in simulation/required for real experiments] Whether to build the AtiDaq plugin. This plugin allows to acquire ATI force sensor data plugged to a data acquisition card.
• WITH_PHIDGET_PRESSURE_SENSOR_PLUGIN:BOOL: [optional in simulation/required for real experiments] Whether to build the PhidgetPressureSensor plugin. This plugin is used to read pressure data from the Orthesis
• WITH_TACTILE_FORCE_SENSOR_PLUGIN:BOOL: [optional] Whether to build the TactileForceSensor plugin. This allows reading of pressure sensors placed on the surface of the tibia joint.

cd mc-rtc-superbuild/extensions
