Adaptive and Autonomous Switching: Shared Control of Powered Prosthetic Arms Using Reinforcement Learning
DownloadFall 2016
Powered prosthetic arms with numerous controllable functions (i.e., grip patterns or movable joints) can be challenging to operate. Gated control---a common control method for myoelectric arms and other human-machine interfaces---allows users to select a function by switching through a static...

The overall goal of this work was to design an intelligent method to reduce the cognitive and physical burdens associated with walking using lower-limb exoskeletons after paralysis. Lower-limb exoskeletons with many operating modes (i.e., walking patterns) can be challenging to work with....

The objective of above-elbow myoelectric prostheses is to reestablish the functionality of missing limbs and increase the quality of life of amputees. By using electromyography (EMG) electrodes attached to the surface of the skin, amputees are able to control motors in myoelectric prostheses by...

Above-elbow myoprostheses aim to restore the functionality of amputated limbs and improve the quality of life of amputees. By using electromyography electrodes attached to the surface of the skin, amputees are able to control motors in myoprostheses by voluntarily contracting the muscles of their...
