Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the …

This manuscript reviews historical and recent studies that focus on supplementary sensory
feedback for use in upper limb prostheses. It shows that the inability of many studies to …

The journey of a prosthetic user is characterized by the opportunities and the limitations of a
device that should enable activities of daily living (ADL). In particular, experiencing a bionic …

Haptic technology involves the use of electrical or mechanical means to stimulate afferent
nerves or mechanoreceptors in the skin as the basis for creating sensations of physical …

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 …

Haptic feedback is critical in a broad range of human-machine/computer-interaction
applications. However, the high cost and low portability/wearability of haptic devices remain …

Advanced human–machine interfaces render robotic devices applicable to study and
enhance human cognition. This turns robots into formidable neuroscientific tools to study …

For those individuals with upper-extremity amputation, a daily normal living activity is no
longer possible or it requires additional effort and time. With the aim of restoring their …

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 …

Myoelectric prostheses are successfully controlled using muscle electrical activity, thereby
restoring lost motor functions. However, the somatosensory feedback from the prosthesis to …
