  • Abstract
    Two methods of prosthetic hand control are investigated. A typical proportional force control scheme is compared to a force controller with a feedforward inertia stopping derivative term. Eleven human operators use these two controllers with an antagonist electromyogram input. The experimental feedforward force controller is found to help prevent unwanted force overshoot when initially grasping objects.
