Prosthetic ‘BairClaw’ helps amputees ‘touch’
(Mahsa SheyKhsoltan/Daily Bruin)
Veronica Santos is an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and director of the UCLA biomechatronics laboratory. Her team is working on developing the “BairClaw,” a robot hand testbed. They are using this to study how humans interact with objects and hope to develop ways to provide amputees with a conscious perception of touch.
