A Control Architecture for Grasp Strength Regulation in Myocontrolled Robotic Hands Using Vibrotactile Feedback: Preliminary Results.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Nowadays, electric-powered hand prostheses do not provide adequate sensory instrumentation and artificial feedback to allow users voluntarily and finely modulate the grasp strength applied to the objects. In this work, the design of a control archite...

Exploring the Impact of Machine-Learned Predictions on Feedback from an Artificial Limb.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Learning to get by without an arm or hand can be very challenging, and existing prostheses do not yet fill the needs of individuals with amputations. One promising solution is to improve the feedback from the device to the user. Towards this end, we ...

Preliminary Design of an Environment Recognition System for Controlling Robotic Lower-Limb Prostheses and Exoskeletons.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Drawing inspiration from autonomous vehicles, using future environment information could improve the control of wearable biomechatronic devices for assisting human locomotion. To the authors knowledge, this research represents the first documented in...

Bio-inspired design and validation of the Efficient Lockable Spring Ankle (ELSA) prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Over the last decade, active lower-limb prostheses demonstrated their ability to restore a physiological gait for transfemoral amputees by supplying the required positive energy balance during daily life locomotion activities. However, the added-valu...

Texture Discrimination using a Soft Biomimetic Finger for Prosthetic Applications.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Soft robotic fingers have shown great potential for use in prostheses due to their inherent compliant, light, and dexterous nature. Recent advancements in sensor technology for soft robotic systems showcase their ability to perceive and respond to st...

Impacts of robotic arm use on individuals with upper extremity disabilities: A scoping review.

Canadian journal of occupational therapy. Revue canadienne d'ergotherapie
BACKGROUND.: Robotic arms may help users perform various activities. Even though robotic arms are commercially available, their impacts are still poorly understood.

Real-Time On-Board Recognition of Continuous Locomotion Modes for Amputees With Robotic Transtibial Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Human intent recognition is important to the control of robotic prosthesis. In this paper, we propose a multi-level real-time on-board system to recognize continuous locomotion modes. A cascaded classification strategy is designed for the recognition...

[Robotics-mechanical bridge between imaging and patient].

Der Orthopade
BACKGROUND: There are still a high number of dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients. This situation has not changed much for decades, despite many innovations focusing on implant longevity and higher procedural precision. In this context, there is a...

Fault-Tolerant Sensor Detection of sEMG signals: Quality Analysis Using a Two-Class Support Vector Machine.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The capacity to identify the contamination in surface electromyography (sEMG) signals is necessary for applying the sEMG controlled prosthesis over time. In this paper, the method for the automatic identification of commonly occurring contaminant typ...

A Biomechatronic EPP upper-limb prosthesis controller and its performance comparison to other topologies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Historically, Classic Extended Physiological Proprioception (EPP) as an upper-limb prosthesis control topology has been outperforming functionally all other topologies of the past. A novel Biomechatronic EPP controller has been designed to overcome s...
