Abstract

The loss of the upper limb, especially the hand, can affect the level of autonomy. Developing an effective control system for the upper limb prostheses could improve the quality of users’ life. The aim of this project was to design artificial neural networks for automatic grasp classification. A subset of the grips allowing to perform everyday activities was proposed. The proposed artificial neural networks were evaluated and the maximal accuracy reached 97%.
