An EMG Interface for the Control of Motion and Compliance of a Supernumerary Robotic Finger

In this paper, we present an electromyographic (EMG) control interface for a supernumerary robotic finger. This novel wearable robot can be used to compensate the missing grasping abilities in chronic stroke patients or to augment human healthy hand so to enhance its grasping capabilities and worksp...
