Sensorimotor Control of Grasping and Manipulation Through a Soft-Synergy Prosthetic Hand and Peripheral Neural Interface System

Abstract

We propose to study the fusion of two advanced and promising technologies that can significantly improve quality of life in individuals with upper limb loss: (1) biologically-inspired, multi-degrees of freedom soft-robotics prosthetic hands, the SoftHand Pro (SHP), and (2) Neural-Enabled Prosthetic Hand (NEPH) technology that uses invasive peripheral neural interfaces to enable closed-loop control of terminal devices.
