On June 26, 2026, the defense of the candidate of group BKI-22, Yevgeny Igorovych Chernyshevsky, on the topic "Development of a computerized sensor signal processing system for microcontroller-based control of a hand prosthesis" was held at the Department of Computer Engineering and Electromechanics.

The work is devoted to the development of a computerized system for processing bioelectric and auxiliary sensor signals, designed for microcontroller control of an active hand prosthesis, which will ensure reliable recognition of the user's intentions using electromyography.

The loss of an upper limb is a severe disability, as the hand is critically important for work, self-care, and communication. The development of robotics and biomedical engineering today allows us to create active prostheses that reproduce natural movements. This problem is extremely relevant for Ukraine due to the significant increase in the need for functional and affordable prosthetics as a result of military operations. Industrial bionic products are too expensive and difficult to repair, so the promising direction is the creation of prostheses based on open platforms and 3D printing. The key element of such a device is a computerized system that converts bioelectrical signals from muscles into control commands for mechanisms.

The staff of the Department of Computer Engineering and Electromechanics congratulates Yevhen Igorovych Chernyshevsky on his successful defense and wishes to continue his work in this important direction for Ukraine.
