Chief Scientist
This work enabled simultaneous direct control of four degrees of freedom of a myoelectric prosthetic hand for the first time.聽 With my collaborators from the BioRobotics Institute at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, Italy, I devised the control system and performed the empirical research and analysis.
