The prototype Fringing Field Sensor Array -- developed at the Sensors, Energy and Automation Laboratory of the University of Washington -- could revolutionize the creation and fitting of artificial limbs, according to Alexander Mamishev, a UW professor of electrical engineering who worked on the project.

The sensor could be a big benefit to war veterans who have lost a limb and are adjusting to a prosthetic device. UW scientists have worked with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on the sensor.
