Abstract
Artificial arm is one of the most important robotic systems for persons who lost their original arm by accident or disease. This paper describes sensory feedback system and control method of the intelligent artificial arms. The proposed sensory feedback system can feedback hand tactile sensibility and forearm force sensibility to the user. The elbow joint flexion/extension motion, forearm pronation/supination motion, and hand open/close motion are controlled based on EMG signals of the remained active muscles. Natural arm motion can be generated by the proposed intelligent control method.
