Mechanical design of an artificial finger is the key factor in determining the performance of a
prosthetic hand. To achieve a simple, dexterous and functional bionic hand, researchers …

The perception of slip is one of the distinctive abilities of human tactile sensing. The sense of
touch allows recognizing a wide set of properties of a grasped object, such as shape, weight …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals represent a promising approach for decoding the
motor intention of amputees to control a multifunctional prosthetic hand in a non-invasive …

Robotic harvesting research has seen significant achievements in the past decade, with
breakthroughs being made in machine vision, robot manipulation, autonomous navigation …

Tactile sensing is fundamental for the human hand to achieve high dexterity. Most prosthetic
hands are still devoid of tactile sensors, implying that the user cannot perceive external …

The detection of an object slipping within the grasp of a prosthetic hand enables the hand to
react to ensure the grasp is stable. The computer controller of a prosthetic hand needs to be …

Remote robotic systems are employed in the CERN accelerator complex to perform different
tasks, such as the safe handling of cables and their connectors. Without dedicated control …

In this article, we describe a real-time system for prosthetic hands control. The system
architecture includes the integration of the electromyographic (EMG) signal acquisition …

Prosthetic hand systems aim at restoring lost functionality in amputees. Manipulation and
grasping are the main functions of the human hand, which are provided by skin sensitivity …

The abilities of the human hand have always fascinated people, and many studies have
been devoted to describing and understanding a mechanism so perfect and important for …
