Cyborg Limb and Human Interface
Scope
The significant development of robotics, bionics, biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence has brought cyborg limbs from science fiction into real life. Although many promising results have been reported on prostheses that restore amputated limbs of capability lost, assistive exoskeletons to complement or replace impaired limb functions, and even additional limbs for human augmentation, challenges remain in making these devices more wearable, usable, available and affordable for sustained use in daily life.
This special issue focuses on the proposal of and solutions to current challenges in cyborg limbs and human-machine interfaces. Topics include, but are not limited to, design and implementation of prostheses, exoskeletons and artificial limbs, sensing technologies and signal analysis for intuitive control, sensory feedback for bidirectional communication between prosthetic devices and users, training and evaluation methods to improve design and usability, and case report on prescription and fitting of wearable smart limbs.
