Title
Muscle stiffness sensor to control an assistance device for the disabled
Abstract
An innovative sensor has been developed as a man–machine interface to control an assistance device for people with disabilities. This sensor is applied to a mechanical glove that has a grasping function, and its usefulness is demonstrated through experiments. The sensor is attached to the operator’s skin and detects noninvasively how much the muscle under the sensor has stiffened.
