A novel perception system, the proximity perception-based grasping intelligence (P2GI) system, has been developed to enhance the dexterity of prosthetic hands, closely mimicking human hand functionality. Utilizing embedded proximity sensors and a real-time decision-making algorithm, the P2GI system accurately maps the point cloud of an object and infers the user’s intended grasp posture, achieving a high accuracy of grasp posture classification and a high rate of task success. This advancement promises significant improvements in prosthetic hand control, potentially broadening the application of highly dexterous prosthetic hands in everyday tasks....read more
Prof. Jung Kim’s group has developed a 2.5D laser cutting method to accelerate customized sEMG sensor fabrication from design to production. sEMG sensors measure human muscle activity and are widely used in wearable systems for human-machine interaction. In order to use sEMG sensors for a long time in daily life, it is necessary to develop a sensor that can be customized and worn easily and does not affect the signal due to movement. This customizable textile-based sEMG sensor provides high wearing comfort and improves the sensor signal quality through stable contact....read more
