Bionic hands can replicate many movements of the human hand, but our ability to intuitively control these bionic hands is limited. Humans' manual dexterity is partly due to control loops driven by sensory feedback. Here, we describe the integration o...
Social impact assessment has gained increasing attention in recent years, emphasizing the added value and social changes brought by project activities alongside the sustainability of social actions. This study evaluates the economic and social impact...
Gesture recognition based on surface electromyography (sEMG) plays a crucial role in human-computer interaction. By analyzing sEMG signals generated from residual forearm muscle activity in trans-radial amputees, it is possible to predict their hand ...

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...
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...
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...
