Despite recent technological advances that have led to sophisticated bionic prostheses,
attaining embodied solutions still remains a challenge. Recently, the investigation of …

An anthropomorphic underactuated prosthetic hand, endowed with position and force
sensors and controlled by means of myoelectric commands, is used to perform experiments …

The design of artificial limbs is a research topic that has, over time, attracted considerable
interest from researchers in various fields of study, such as mechanics, electronics, robotics …

We have developed a real-time machine learning approach for the collaborative control of a
prosthetic arm. Upper-limb amputees are often extremely limited in the number of inputs they …

This paper proposes a hybrid vision-based reach-to-grasp task planning method for
transhumeral prostheses exploiting both vision and electromyography (EMG) signals. The …

This paper presents control methods for restoration of reaching and grasping that mimics the
mapping in the space of output states found in healthy subjects. The hypothesis was that the …

Transhumeral amputation has a significant effect on a person's independence and quality of
life. Myoelectric prostheses have the potential to restore upper limb function, however their …

Understanding the inherent synergistic nature of human neuromuscular control has already
successfully contributed to the development of human-centered robotic systems. To further …

Background Current upper limb prostheses do not replace the active degrees-of-freedom
distal to the elbow inherent to intact physiology. Limited evidence suggests that transradial …

C5/C6 tetraplegic patients and transhumeral amputees may be able to use voluntary
shoulder motion as command signals for a functional electrical stimulation (FES) system or a …
