Intuitive real-time control strategy for high-density myoelectric hand prosthesis using deep and transfer learning
Abstract Myoelectric hand prostheses offer a way for upper-limb amputees to recover gesture and prehensile abilities to ease rehabilitation and daily life activities. However, studies with prosthesis users found that a lack of intuitiveness and ease-of-use in the human-machine control interface are...
