About
K. Sharmila’s research lies at the intersection of biomedical engineering and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on electromyography (EMG)-controlled prosthetics. Her most cited work, “EMG controlled low cost prosthetic arm” (2016, 26 citations), addresses a critical barrier in rehabilitation technology: affordability. By designing a functional prosthetic hand that uses surface EMG signals for control, she demonstrated that signal amplification and filtering could be achieved with cost-effective components, making assistive devices more accessible in resource-limited settings. This contribution not only advances the field of myoelectric control but also emphasizes practical, real-world impact for amputees. Sharmila’s work is notable for bridging the gap between sophisticated signal processing and low-cost implementation, a challenge that continues to drive innovation in rehabilitation engineering. Her research highlights the potential of EMG signals beyond clinical settings, inspiring further work in affordable robotics and healthcare technology.
