We propose, implement and evaluate a natural human-machine control interface for a variable stiffness transradial hand prosthesis that achieves tele-impedance control through surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. This interface, together…
One of the most important research challenges in upper-limb prosthetics is enhancing the user-prosthesis communication to closely resemble the experience of a natural limb. As prosthetic devices become more complex, users often struggle to…
Electromyography (EMG) signal analysis is a popular method for controlling prosthetic and gesture control equipment. For portable systems, such as prosthetic limbs, real-time low-power operation on embedded processors is critical, but to…
Adapting upper-limb impedance (i.e., stiffness, damping, inertia) is essential for humans interacting with dynamic environments for executing grasping or manipulation tasks. On the other hand, control methods designed for state-of-the-art…
The identification of intentionally delivered commands is a challenge in Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) based on Sensory-Motor Rhythms (SMR). It is of fundamental importance that BCI systems controlling a robotic device (i.e., upper limb…
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a practical pathway to interpret users' intentions by decoding motor execution (ME) or motor imagery (MI) from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, developing a BCI system driven by ME or MI is…
Electromyography (EMG) is a way of measuring the bioelectric activities that take place inside the muscles. EMG is usually performed to detect abnormalities within the nerves or muscles of a target area. The recent developments in the field…
Our research investigates vibrotactile perception in four prosthetic hands with distinct kinematics and mechanical characteristics. We found that rigid and simple socket-based prosthetic devices can transmit tactile information and…
Upper limb and hand functionality is critical to many activities of daily living and the amputation of one can lead to significant functionality loss for individuals. From this perspective, advanced prosthetic hands of the future are…
Upper limb based neuromuscular interfaces aim to provide a seamless way for humans to interact with technology. Among noninvasive interfaces, surface electromyogram (EMG) signals hold significant promise. However, their sensitivity to…

Stiffness estimation is crucial for delicate object manipulation in robotic and prosthetic hands but remains challenging due to dependence on force and displacement measurement and real-time sensory integration. This study presents a…
Wrist-driven orthotics have been designed to assist people with C6-7 spinal cord injury, however, the kinematic constraint imposed by such a control strategy can impede mobility and lead to abnormal body motion. This study characterizes…
There have been different reports of developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) platforms to investigate the noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG) signals associated with plan-to-grasp tasks in humans. However, these reports were unable…
Neural control of grasping arises from nonlinear interactions across multiple brain rhythms, yet EEG-based motor decoding has largely relied on linear, second-order spectral features. Here, we examine whether higher-order cross-frequency…
