A practical 3D-printed soft robotic prosthetic hand with multi-articulating capabilities.

PloS one
Soft robotic hands with monolithic structure have shown great potential to be used as prostheses due to their advantages to yield light weight and compact designs as well as its ease of manufacture. However, existing soft prosthetic hands design were...

Performance Evaluation of Convolutional Neural Network for Hand Gesture Recognition Using EMG.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Electromyography (EMG) is a measure of electrical activity generated by the contraction of muscles. Non-invasive surface EMG (sEMG)-based pattern recognition methods have shown the potential for upper limb prosthesis control. However, it is still ins...

A Deep Transfer Learning Approach to Reducing the Effect of Electrode Shift in EMG Pattern Recognition-Based Control.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
An important barrier to commercialization of pattern recognition myoelectric control of prostheses is the lack of robustness to confounding factors such as electrode shift, skin impedance variations, and learning effects. To overcome this challenge, ...

The Interaction Between Feedback Type and Learning in Routine Grasping With Myoelectric Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on haptics
While prosthetic fitting after upper-limb loss allows for restoration of motor functions, it deprives the amputee of tactile sensations that are essential for grasp control in able-bodied subjects. Therefore, it is commonly assumed that restoring the...

A Fully Embedded Adaptive Real-Time Hand Gesture Classifier Leveraging HD-sEMG and Deep Learning.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
This paper presents a real-time fine gesture recognition system for multi-articulating hand prosthesis control, using an embedded convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify hand-muscle contractions sensed at the forearm. The sensor consists in a ...

Proof of Concept of an Assistive Robotic Arm Control Using Artificial Stereovision and Eye-Tracking.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Assistive robotic arms have become popular to help users with upper limb disabilities achieve autonomy in their daily tasks, such as drinking and grasping objects in general. Usually, these robotic arms are controlled with an adapted joystick. Joysti...

What microsurgeon, orthopaedic and plastic surgeon should know about bionic hand.

Injury
Hand loss is a catastrophic event that generates significant demands for orthopedics and prosthetics. In the course of history, prostheses evolved from passive esthetic replacements to sophisticated robotic hands. Yet, their actuation and particularl...

Locomotion Mode Recognition With Robotic Transtibial Prosthesis in Inter-Session and Inter-Day Applications.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Locomotion mode recognition across multiple sessions and days is an indispensable step towards the practical use of the robotic transtibial prosthesis. In this study, we proposed an adaptive recognition strategy to against the time-varying features o...

A CNN-Based Method for Intent Recognition Using Inertial Measurement Units and Intelligent Lower Limb Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Powered intelligent lower limb prosthesis can actuate the knee and ankle joints, allowing transfemoral amputees to perform seamless transitions between locomotion states with the help of an intent recognition system. However, prior intent recognition...

Counteracting Electrode Shifts in Upper-Limb Prosthesis Control via Transfer Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Research on machine learning approaches for upper-limb prosthesis control has shown impressive progress. However, translating these results from the lab to patient's everyday lives remains a challenge because advanced control schemes tend to break do...
