ECE PhD Dissertation Defense: Mohammadreza Sharif
PhD Dissertation Defense: Human-in-the-loop Prosthetic Robot Hand Control through Contextual Adaptation Mohammadreza Sharif Location: ISEC136 or Zoom Link Abstract: Despite fifty years of research on prosthetic robot hands, this technology is yet to be fully acknowledged by amputees as well as manufacturers, due to lack of robustness and intuitive control. Our goal is to enhance the control robustness and intuitiveness through integrating the context, i.e. knowledge of environment and task, with human bio-signals, e.g. hand trajectory. Although this solution has…
