Abstract:Robotic prosthetic hands can help perform the intended sophisticated movements of the upper limb, which can assist amputees to perform their daily activities. Although a robotic prosthetic hand can be controlled in real-time using the user's electromyography (EMG), which directly reflects the user's motion intention, some important EMG signals are usually lost owing to muscle deficiency. This study proposes a muscle activity estimator that is inspired by the muscle synergy across subjects to estimate the activ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
