Wearable robotic upper limb orthoses (ULO) are promising tools to assist or enhance the
upper-limb function of their users. While the functionality of these devices has continuously …

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 …

People taken by upper limb disorders caused by neurological diseases suffer from grip
weakening, which affects their quality of life. Researches on soft wearable robotics and …

The complexity of the user interfaces and the operating modes present in numerous
assistive devices, such as intelligent prostheses, influence patients to shed them from their …

Semi-autonomous (SA) control of upper-limb prostheses can improve the performance and
decrease the cognitive burden of a user. In this approach, a prosthesis is equipped with …

This work presents the development of an underactuated glove-like orthosis to be used by
people with disabilities of the hand and focused on those who can not perform firm grasps …

Assessing the hand postures is crucial to implement gesture-based user-computer
interfaces for controlling robots and assistive devices. Apart from data gloves and optical …

The paper presents an original method for controlling a surface-electromyography-driven
(sEMG) prosthesis. A context-dependent recognition system is proposed in which the same …

This paper presents an algorithm to control a robotic prosthetic hand by applying deep
learning (DL) to select a grasping pose and a grasping time from 2D images and 3D point …

Numerous assistive devices possess complex ways to operate and interact with the
subjects, influencing patients to shed them from their activities of daily living. With the …
