Popis: Robotic prosthetic hands with five digits have become commercially available however their use is limited to a few grip patterns due to the unnatural and unreliable human-machine interface (HMI). The research community has addressed this problem extensively by investigating Pattern Recognition (PR) based surface-electromyography (sEMG) control. This control strategy has been recently commercialized however has yet to show clinical adoption. One of the reasons identified in the literature is due to the sEMG signals that are affected by sweating, electrode shift, ambient noise, fatigue, cross-talk between adjacent muscles, signal drifting, and force level variation. Hence recently the scientific community has started proposing multi-modal sensing techniques as a solution.
