A Multi-Modal Approach for Hand Motion Classification Using Surface EMG and Accelerometers
(IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Conference Proceedings;6091054, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)For decades, electromyography (EMG) has been used for diagnostics, upper-limb prosthesis control, and recently even for more general human-machine interfaces. Current commercial upper limb prostheses usually have only two ... -
A snake robot joint mechanism with a contact force measurement system
