Toward Safe Wearer-Prosthesis Interaction: Evaluation of Gait Stability and Human Compensation Strategy Under Faults in Robotic Transfemoral Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Although advanced wearable robots can assist human wearers, their internal faults (i.e., sensors or control errors) also pose a challenge. To ensure safe wearer-robot interactions, how internal errors by the prosthesis limb affect the stability of th...

Toward Robust, Adaptiveand Reliable Upper-Limb Motion Estimation Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning-A Survey in Myoelectric Control.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
To develop multi-functionalhuman-machine interfaces that can help disabled people reconstruct lost functions of upper-limbs, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have been widely implemented to decode human movement intentions from...
