Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to develop artificial sensory feedback system for biomimetic myoelectric. The results were as follows; (1) A small share stress sensor for artificial finger of the myoelectric hand was developed, (2) an electric stimuli system for supplementary sensory feedback was developed and it was shown that fifteen patterns could be transmitted, and (3) a method for identifying MUAPs from multi-channel EMGs recorded during flexion movement was suggested.
