Myoelectric prosthetic hands are intended to re-place the function of the amputee’s lost arm. Therefore, developing robotic prosthetics that can mimic not only the appearance and functionality of humans but also characteristics unique to human movements is paramount. This paper proposes a novel biom…
The upper limb of the human body has a higher likeliness of getting affected by muscle fatigue and injury, due to repetitive motion. This letter presents an interactive glove for the wrist of the human body. The assistive model is enabled with pneumatic actuators and stretch sensors, which support t
The lower limbs of the human body are responsible for human locomotion and maintaining a good quality of life. However, there are many instances of muscle fatigue or injuries caused by stressful work environments, aging, and work that involves walking a long distance. Therefore, there is a need for
Although electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) has been used in various haptic interfaces, haptic sense induced by EMS does not satisfactorily provide the full spectrum of haptic events. It is difficult to convey certain haptic sensations accurately through EMS. In this study, we aim to create the hap
