Evaluating the Impact of a Semi-Autonomous Interface on Configuration Space Accessibility for Multi-DOF Upper Limb Prostheses

Powered upper limb prostheses offer a particularly interesting case of human-machine interaction, where the user and the robot are physically coupled as an open chain manipulator. The biological and mechanical degrees of freedom (DOF) must collaborate for the user to manipulate objects in the enviro…
