In this project, we studied the technologies to develop the myoelectric prosthetic hand to substitute one’s own hand by inducing the mutual adaptation between human and machine. A highly stretchable elastomer glove was developed by transcribing the texture of a human hand. Omnidirectional force sensors made of conductive silicon were embedded into the glove to introduce haptic function for sensory feedback. The interactive-tendon-driven mechanism was adopted in the design of robotic hand and arm to balance increasing their forces and functions with reducing their sizes and weights. To control a myoelectric prosthetic hand with electroencephalography (EEG) was also investigated in an experiment in which gaze points on the hand were identified from the P300 EEG response.
