The objective of the MULPOS project is the design and development of prosthetic systems characterized mainly by
their low cost and open source architecture, in addition to offering functional alternatives to traditional prostheses.
To reduce the costs of the systems to be designed, additive construction techniques such as 3D printing are proposed.
The experience of controlling an artificial limb in an intuitive way and similar to that of a natural one is a prerequisite of the project,
which is why it seeks to develop interfaces based on biosignals such as those that can be obtained through the muscles or the brain.
It is sought through cost reduction to allow the majority of the population to improve the quality of life with prostheses
that emulate the absent limb in both appearance and functional aspects.
The open source nature of the project aims to facilitate the construction of these devices by people with limited knowledge of CAD design,
as well as to encourage interest in the development of skills in this area.
