0 able to be programmed
1 used to describe a computer or machine that is able to accept instructions to do a range of tasks, rather than just one:
With programmable control, the prosthetic team can create virtually any control scheme that suits a person's unique abilities.
In order to keep system complexity at a manageable level, the possibility of implementing stable grasps based on actively programmable finger compliance was studied.
A person with muscular dystrophy could use a programmable impedance to assist with arm movements.
This solution, it seems, appeared when a new generation of programmable chips came on the scene.
To do this the researcher found his solution in genetic algorithms and field programmable gate arrays.
Robotic therapy provides a new form of active and passive mechanical movement that is programmable and augmented by force and position sensing.
To achieve a more accurate programmable damping mechanism will require measurement of shaft torque.
As an alternative, using a programmable controller, the change in control system can be accomplished without changing the hardware by merely reprogramming the prosthetic controller.
