Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Variable Stiffness Transradial Hand Prosthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of a low-cost, customizable, easy-to-use transradial hand prosthesis capable of adapting its compliance. Variable stiffness actuation (VSA) of the prosthesis is based on antagonistically arranged tendons coupled to nonlinear springs driven through a Bowden cable-based power transmission.

Automatic Recognition of Landmarks on Digital Dental Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Fundamental to improving Dental and Orthodontic treatments is the ability to quantitatively assess and cross-compare their outcomes. Such assessments require calculating distances and angles from 3D coordinates of dental landmarks. The costly and repetitive task of hand-labelling dental models impedes studies requiring large sample size to penetrate ...

Data-driven Characterization of Human Interaction for Model-based Control of Powered Prostheses [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper proposes a data-driven method for powered prosthesis control that achieves stable walking without the need for additional sensors on the human. The key idea is to extract the nominal gait and the human interaction information from motion capture data, and reconstruct the walking behavior with a dynamic model of the human-prosthesis system ...

Trip Recovery in Lower-Limb Prostheses using Reachable Sets of Predicted Human Motion [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 People with lower-limb loss, the majority of which use passive prostheses, exhibit a high incidence of falls each year. Powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential to reduce fall rates by actively helping the user recover from a stumble, but the unpredictability of the human response makes it difficult to design controllers that ensure a ...

A Robotic Prosthesis for an Amputee Drummer [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role fingers play in drumming. This primarily includes controlling the manner in which the drum stick rebounds after initial impact.
