Development and implementation of neuroprosthetic hands is a multidisciplinary field at the
interface between humans and artificial robotic systems, which aims at replacing the …

In this letter, using the active dual-mode twisted string actuation (TSA) mechanism and tiny
tension sensors on the tendon strings, an anthropomorphic robot hand is newly designed in …

A barrier to practical use of electrotactile stimulation for haptic feedback has been large
variability in perceived sensation intensity because of changes in the impedance of the …

The strict development processes of commercial upper-limb prostheses and the complexity
of research projects required for their development makes them expensive for end users …

Objective. The implementation of somatosensory feedback in upper limb myoelectric
prostheses is an important step towards the restoration of lost sensory-motor functions. EMG …

Human limb amputation can be caused due to congenital disabilities, accidents, and certain
diseases. Amputation caused by occupational accidents is a frequent occurrence in …

Currently available prosthetic hands are capable of actuating anywhere from five to 30
degrees of freedom. However, grasp control of these devices remains unintuitive and …

Repeated mechanical failure due to accidental impact is one of the main reasons why
people with upper-limb amputations abandon commercially-available prosthetic hands. To …

Despite the progresses in upper limb prosthetic technologies of the past decades, there is
still a large gap between the user needs and the available devices. Here, we describe the …

Integrating tactile sensors into robotic applications is still a challenge because of sensor
interconnection and various form factors. Newly developed magnetic synapse sensors have …
