Technological advancements have led to the development of numerous wearable robotic
devices for the physical assistance and restoration of human locomotion. While many …

Any implant or prosthesis replacing a function or functions of an organ or group of organs
should be biologically and sensorily integrated with the human body in order to increase …

Human grasping and manipulation control critically depends on tactile feedback. Without
this feedback, the ability for fine control of a prosthesis is limited in upper limb amputees …

Tactile cues generated from lightweight, wearable actuators can help users learn new
motions by providing immediate feedback on when and how to correct their movements. We …

Human motor control relies on a combination of feedback and feedforward strategies. The
aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate artificial somatosensory feedback and …

Proprioception plays a key role in moving our body dexterously and effortlessly.
Nevertheless, the majority of investigations evaluating the benefits of providing …

Providing functionally effective sensory feedback to users of prosthetics is a largely unsolved
challenge. Traditional solutions require high band-widths for providing feedback for the …

Objective. Providing sensory feedback to the user of the prosthesis is an important
challenge. The common approach is to use tactile stimulation, which is easy to implement …

The ability to distinguish object stiffness is a very important aspect in object handling, but
completely lacking in current myoelectric prostheses. In human hands both tactile and …

Objective. Muscle activation patterns in the muscle-to-force null space, ie patterns that do not
generate task-relevant forces, may provide an opportunity for motor augmentation by …
