OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of creating an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to enhance prosthetic socket shapes for transtibial prostheses, aiming for a less operator-dependent, standardized approach.
Advancements in neural network approaches have enhanced the effectiveness of surface Electromyography (sEMG)-based hand gesture recognition when measuring muscle activity. However, current deep learning architectures struggle to achieve good generali...
As robots become increasingly integrated into human society, the importance of human-machine interfaces continues to grow. This study proposes a faster and more accurate control system for myoelectric prostheses by considering the Electromechanical D...
For leg prosthesis user, the soft tissue and skin under the stump of are not accustomed to weight bearing, excessive continuous contact pressure can lead to the risk of degenerative tissue ulceration. This article presents a novel human-robot collabo...

Myoelectric control interfaces, which map electromyographic (EMG) signals into control commands for external devices, have applications in active prosthesis control. However, the statistical characteristics of EMG signals change over time (e.g., beca...
Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are designed to collaborate with the wearer, enhancing operational capabilities. When human limbs are occupied with primary tasks, controlling SRLs flexibly and naturally becomes a challenge. Existing methods such a...
Despite the advances in bionic reconstruction of missing limbs, the control of robotic limbs is still limited and, in most cases, not felt to be as natural by users. In this study, we introduce a control approach that combines robotic design based on...

Burn injuries often result in severe hand complications, including joint contractures and nerve damage, sometimes leading to amputation. Despite early treatment, hypertrophic scarring frequently hampers hand function recovery, and the thick raised sc...
Key challenges in upper limb prosthetics include a lack of effective control systems, the often invasive surgical requirements of brain-controlled limbs, and prohibitive costs. As a result, disuse rates remain high despite potential for increased qua...
