Shared human–robot proportional control of a dexterous myoelectric prosthesis

Dec 10, 2019

Presenting our research on shared control algorithm for prosthetic hands. The novelty of the approach lies in it's ability to improve grasp around the object using information from pressure sensors integrated with the hand. The algorithm allows the subject to control robotic hand's fingers through muscle signals (EMG) decoding and in addition improves the grasp on the object whenever a contact is detected. Please find the accompanying paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence in the link here
