  • Abstract
    A force controller and an adaptive controller are presented for a prosthetic hand. The adaptive controller modulates the force feedback gain based on the detected stiffness of the grasped object. The results from benchtop experiments indicate statistically significant improvements in the system response when using the adaptive controller as well as a reduction of oscillatory behavior.
