A hierarchical sensorimotor control framework for human-in-the-loop robotic hands

Human manual dexterity relies critically on touch. Robotic and prosthetic hands are much less dexterous and make little use of the many tactile sensors available. We propose a framework modeled on the hierarchical sen-sorimotor controllers of the nervous system to link sensing to action in human-in-the-loop, haptically enabled, artificial hands.

Automated summary

This study proposes a framework that models the hierarchical sensorimotor controllers of the human nervous system to connect sensing and action in haptically enabled artificial hands, aiming to enhance dexterity and use of tactile sensors.
