Grasp Assistance System and Method
Last updated:
Abstract:
A grasp control system assists an operator with a grasping movement task. A movement intention signal is monitored for a grasping movement muscle of the operator. A volitional operator input for the grasping movement task is identified from the movement intention signal. One or more movement motors are operated based on the volitional operator input to perform the grasping movement task as a chain of motion primitives, wherein each motion primitive is a fundamental unit of grasping motion defined along a movement path with a single degree of freedom.
