Development of electroencephalographic pattern classifiers for real and imaginary thumb and index finger movements of one hand.
Artificial intelligence in medicine
Dec 18, 2014
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to find effective approaches to electroencephalographic (EEG) signal analysis and resolve problems of real and imaginary finger movement pattern recognition and categorization for one hand.
Sensing and Force-Feedback Exoskeleton (SAFE) Robotic Glove.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dec 4, 2014
This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental validation of a novel robotic haptic exoskeleton device to measure the user's hand motion and assist hand motion while remaining portable and lightweight. The device consists of a five-f...
Extrinsic finger and thumb muscles command a virtual hand to allow individual finger and grasp control.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Jul 31, 2014
Fine-wire intramuscular electrodes were used to obtain electromyogram (EMG) signals from six extrinsic hand muscles associated with the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Subjects' EMG activity was used to control a virtual three-degree-of-freedom (DO...
From human hand joints to continuum robot: how articular surface morphology shapes flexibility and stability in template-based designs.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 27, 2025
The design of continuum robots often involves a dilemma between flexibility and stiffness, where increased flexibility may reduce stiffness and control precision. The human hand achieves both power grasp and precision grasp by leveraging different jo...
Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation.
Science robotics
May 19, 2021
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....
Variable Thumb Moment Arm Modeling and Thumb-Tip Force Production of a Human-Like Robotic Hand.
Journal of biomechanical engineering
Oct 1, 2017
The anatomically correct testbed (ACT) hand mechanically simulates the musculoskeletal structure of the fingers and thumb of the human hand. In this work, we analyze the muscle moment arms (MAs) and thumb-tip force vectors in the ACT thumb in order t...
Design of a thumb module for the FINGER rehabilitation robot.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2016
This paper describes the design and initial prototype of a thumb curling exoskeleton for movement therapy. This add-on device for the Finger INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot (FINGER) guides the thumb through a single-degree-of-freedom naturalistic ...
Robot-like dexterity without computers and motors: a review of hand-held laparoscopic instruments with wrist-like tip articulation.
Expert review of medical devices
Jul 1, 2016
INTRODUCTION: Conventional manual laparoscopic instruments for minimally invasive surgery have limited dexterity within the patient, making procedures challenging. Surgical robotic systems offer enhanced articulation, but at substantial financial cos...
