In this article, we present our research achievements regarding the development of a remote sensing system for motor pulse acquisition, as a first step towards a complete neuroprosthetic arm. We present the fabrication process of an implantable electrode for nerve impulse acquisition, together with an innovative wirelessly controlled system. In our study, these were combined into an implantable device for attachment to peripheral nerves. Mechanical and biocompatibility tests were performed, as well as in vivo testing on pigs using the developed system. This testing and the experimental results are presented in a comprehensive manner, demonstrating that the system is capable of accomplishing the requirements of its designed application. Most significantly, neural electrical signals were acquired and transmitted out of the body during animal experiments, which were conducted according to ethical regulations in the field.
本文介绍了我们在开发用于电机脉冲采集的遥感系统方面的研究成果，这是开发完整神经义肢的第一步。我们介绍了用于神经冲动采集的可植入电极的制造过程，以及一种创新的无线控制。在我们的研究中，这些被组合成一种可植入的设备，用于附着在外周神经上。进行了机械和生物相容性测试，并在猪身上使用所开发的系统进行了体内测试。本文全面介绍了这些测试和实验结果，表明该系统能够满足其设计应用的要求。最重要的是，在根据该领域的伦理规定进行的动物实验中，成功获取并传输了神经电信号。
