The journey of a prosthetic user is characterized by the opportunities and the limitations of a
device that should enable activities of daily living (ADL). In particular, experiencing a bionic …

Recent advances in rehabilitation robotics suggest that it may be possible for hand-
amputated subjects to recover at least a significant part of the lost hand functionality. The …

The term 'synergy'–from the Greek synergia–means 'working together'. The concept of
multiple elements working together towards a common goal has been extensively used in …

This study provides a structured literature review of the recent COllaborative roBOT
(COBOT) applications in industrial and service contexts. Several papers and research …

Hand amputation can dramatically affect the capabilities of a person. Cortical reorganization
occurs in the brain, but the motor and somatosensorial cortex can interact with the remnant …

Myoelectric control is filled with potential to significantly change human–robot interaction
due to the ability to non-invasively measure human motion intent. However, current control …

Active movement-assistive devices aim to increase the quality of life for patients with
neuromusculoskeletal disorders. This technology requires interaction between the user and …

Surface Electromyography (EMG)-based pattern recognition methods have been
investigated over the past years as a means of controlling upper limb prostheses. Despite …

Achieving robust, intuitive, simultaneous and proportional control over multiple degrees of
