Design and Optimization of an Anthropomorphic Robot Finger. [PDF]
Biomimetics (Basel)The coupled-adaptive underactuated finger offers two motion modes: pre-grasping and self-adaptive grasping. It can execute anthropomorphic pre-grasp motions before the proximal phalanx contacts an object and transitions to adaptive enveloping once ...

Explainable Deep Learning Model for EMG-Based Finger Angle Estimation Using Attention
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Electromyography (EMG) is one of the most common methods to detect muscle activities and intentions. However, it has been difficult to estimate accurate hand motions represented by the finger joint angles using EMG signals.
