Kaptein, E.D. (author)It is very useful for users and their safety when the users have more insight on what a robot will do. Specific examples were visualization of what is detected by the robot, but also a path prediction on where the robot will go to. When the users know what the robot will do, they can predict if they are safe or that they could better step away....master thesis 2013

Van Mil, E.H.A. (author)An important advantage of body-powered prostheses, compared to other types of prostheses, is the presence of proprioceptive feedback. Proprioception makes it easier to perform goal directed movements. Body-powered prostheses (for transradial upper-limb amputees) used nowadays make use of one way control, which means that only the opening or the...master thesis 2013
