Feasibility Study of Upper Limb Control Method Based on Electromyography-Angle Relation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper describes the method of predicting the angular position of the human upper limb using EMG signals. A neural network with fuzzy logic was used for this purpose. The main goal of the work, namely, to demonstrate ...
Design of an Efficient Non-Backdrivable Mechanism With Wrap Spring for Hand Prosthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to create a system that enables power transmission non-backdrivability in a hand prosthesis with a single actuator. This system allows the motor to be stopped while maintaining the gripping force ...
Design of a Two-Speed Load Adaptive Variable Transmission for Energetic Optimization of an Accessible Prosthetic Hand
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work proposed the design of a simple, robust, and inexpensive motion transmission for hand prostheses. The main challenge to be solved is to generate not only fast movements for the closing of the fingers during the ...
Novel Kinematics of an Anthropomorphic Prosthetic Hand Allowing Lateral and Opposite Grasp With a Single Actuator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work introduced a new hand prosthesis architecture able to achieve an opposite and lateral grasp by using a single actuator. An analysis of the hand prostheses, as well as the movements classically performed in daily ...
