Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the …

Any device which senses information such as shape, texture, softness, temperature,
vibration or shear and normal forces, by physical contact or touch, can be termed a tactile …

Dexterous hand movement is possible due to closed loop control dependent on efferent
motor output and afferent sensory feedback. This control strategy is significantly altered in …

Providing somatosensory feedback to the user of a myoelectric prosthesis is an important
goal since it can improve the utility as well as facilitate the embodiment of the assistive …

Many of the currently available myoelectric forearm prostheses stay unused because of the
lack of sensory feedback. Vibrotactile and electrotactile stimulation have high potential to …

Objective. The aim of the present work was to develop and test a flexible electrotactile
stimulation system to provide real-time feedback to the prosthesis user. The system …

Human motor control relies on a combination of feedback and feedforward strategies. The
aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate artificial somatosensory feedback and …

A tactile sensor is an essential component for realizing biomimetic robots, while the flexibility
of the tactile sensor is a pivotal feature for its application, especially for electronic skin. In this …

Abstract Force Sensitive Resistors (FSRs) are commercially available thin film polymer
sensors commonly employed in a multitude of biomechanical measurement environments …

As the technology moves towards more human-like bionic limbs, it is necessary to develop a
feedback system that provides active touch feedback to a user of a prosthetic hand. Most of …
