The generation of intentional delay in response to the stride frequency is seldom considered in prosthesis-human symbiosis (PHS). Unfortunately, such intentionally delayed human-robot interaction ...

Recent advances in motor and gear designs have accelerated the development of multi-degree of freedom prosthetic limbs controlled by novel electromyographic signal processing techniques. Most of these ...

The tuning of robotic prosthesis control is essential to provide personalized assistance to individual prosthesis users. Emerging automatic tuning algorithms have shown promise to ease the device ...

Machine learning-based prosthesis control typically relies on the use of a large number of electrodes. Here, we propose an end-to-end strategy for multi-grip, classification-based prosthesis control ...

With advances in robotic prostheses, rese-archers attempt to improve amputee’s gait performance (e.g., gait symmetry) beyond restoring normative knee kinematics/kinetics. Yet, little is known about ...

The use of powered ankle-foot prostheses for below-knee amputees leads to challenges like the peak power of the applied actuator and biomechanical features of the prosthesis foot. This paper proposes ...

Achieving the dexterity of a human hand is a major goal in the field of prosthetic hands. To achieve this level of dexterity, a compact high degrees-of-freedom robotic prosthesis and seamless control ...

Continuous Locomotion-Mode Identification for Prosthetic Legs Based on Neuromuscular–Mechanical Fusion Abstract: In this study, we developed an algorithm based on neuromuscular–mechanical fusion to ...

Enabling the robotic ability to sense tactile interactions is a complex and interdisciplinary challenge, as traditional pressure sensors made of hard and rigid materials struggle to replicate the soft ...

Surface electromyogram (sEMG)-based hand gesture recognition for prosthesis or armband is an important application of the human–machine interface (HMI). However, the measurement location of sensors ...

On her prosthetic leg, Wasatch Middle School Vice Principal Renee DeHaan trekked to Everest Base Camp during spring break.

Renee DeHaan, center, who trekked to Mount Everest base camp this spring on her prosthetic leg, holds up the leg while on the ...
