Abstract
This paper aims to address the core issue that although current intelligent bionic prostheses are powerful in function, they lack the authenticity of life, causing users to experience psychological alienation. This study breaks through the traditional research paradigm of "functional substitution" and innovatively proposes the concept of "bionic blood vessels", dedicated to achieving a paradigm shift from "functional tools" to "living entities" for prostheses. By designing and constructing a system integrating multi-modal sensing, intelligent decision-making, and flexible expression, the mechanical state information of the prosthesis (such as grasping force and environmental temperature) is transformed into human-like vital sign expressions, including vascular pulsation, color changes, and temperature regulation.
