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 …

Objective. Advanced robotic lower limb prostheses are mainly controlled autonomously.
Although the existing control can assist cyclic movements during locomotion of amputee …

In this study, a method for optimizing membership function tuning for fuzzy control of robotic
manipulators using PID-driven data techniques is presented. Traditional approaches for …

Visual information is indispensable to human locomotion in complex environments.
Although amputees can perceive the environmental information by eyes, they cannot …

Assistive technologies (AT) enable people with disabilities to perform activities of daily living
more independently, have greater access to community and healthcare services, and be …

Surface Electromyography (sEMG) has been extensively used for gait analysis and robotic
control. Since the low accuracy of intention recognition limits the development of …

Abstract Polymer or Plastic Optical Fiber sensors (POFs) and Fiber Bragg Grating sensors
(FBGs) have gained increasing popularity in biomedical engineering (BME) applications …

Powered prostheses aim to mimic the missing biological limb with controllers that are finely
tuned to replicate the nominal gait pattern of non-amputee individuals. Unfortunately, this …

Human activity recognition (HAR) has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its
potential to meet the growing needs of various industries. Electromyography (EMG) is …

Locomotion assistive devices equipped with a microprocessor can potentially automatically
adapt their behavior when the user is transitioning from one locomotion mode to another …
