iMOVE: Development of a hybrid control interface based on sEMG and movement signals for an assistive robotic manipulator

For many people with upper limb disabilities, simple activities of daily living such as drinking, opening a door, or pushing an elevator button require the assistance of a caregiver; which reduces the independence of the individual. Assistive robotic systems controlled via human-robot interface coul...
