Development and preliminary testing of an instrumented object for force analysis during grasping.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents the design and realization of an instrumented object for force analysis during grasping. The object, with spherical shape, has been constructed with three contact areas in order to allow performing a tripod grasp. Force Sensing Re...

Voice-Activated Lightweight Reacher to Assist with Upper Extremity Movement Limitations: A Case Study.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The focus of this research was to design a functional and user-friendly reacher for people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Engineering advancements have taken assistive robotics to new dimensions. Technologies such as wheelchair robotics and myo-el...

Dynamic feature selection applied to the recognition of grasping movements in the control of bioprosthetic hand.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The paper presents novel method of dynamic feature selection (DFS) and its application in the problem of recognition of patient intent in the bioprosthesis control system. In the proposed approach features are selected dynamically, i.e. separately fo...

Modulation of grasping force in prosthetic hands using neural network-based predictive control.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
This chapter describes the implementation of a neural network-based predictive control system for driving a prosthetic hand. Nonlinearities associated with the electromechanical aspects of prosthetic devices present great challenges for precise contr...

A method to study precision grip control in viscoelastic force fields using a robotic gripper.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Instrumented objects and multipurpose haptic displays have commonly been used to investigate sensorimotor control of grasping and manipulation. A major limitation of these devices, however, is the extent to which the experimenter can vary the interac...
