1. Neurotactile Integration
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : The field of neural representation of sensory integration is an advanced topic with complex processes. The mechanisms of the brain are far from fully understood and are in need of further development to be implemented in clinical usages such as neuroprosthetics. READ MORE

2. Evaluation of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation parameters for rehabilitation of median and ulnar nerve injury
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : The rehabilitation techniques currently available for patients who suffer from injury to the ulnar or median nerve tends to give suboptimal results. Typically, adults who are operated due to a complete transection of the median or ulnar nerve never regain normal sensibility in the injured hand leading to severe limitations in terms of hand function.

3. HEXA: Hazardous EnvironmenteXpedition Apparatus : Design of a multi-terrain hexapodal robot that utilizes sensory feedback
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : Many hexapods and other robots struggle with walking in uneven terrain, this is due to their lack of sensory feedback. This is the problem aimed to be solved by introducing a sensory feedback loop that measures the current over the servos. By doing this one could know whether or not the leg is in contact with the ground. READ MORE

4. Can electrical pulses be adapted to create life-like perceptions?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressure and movement.

5. A Flexible, Low-cost Approach to Slippage Detection using Pyroelectricity
University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknikAbstract : Myoelectric prosthesis on the market today are mostly very expensive and rarely allow the amputee any feedback, leaving the users separated from their own robotic arm. Integrating sensory systems into an arm which needs to be replaced several times during a lifetime may also not be cost efficient. READ MORE
