Smart Hand, Theme 2: Life-like perception-action hierarchical hybrid control model for intelligent grasping

The Smart Bioadaptive Hand Prosthesis - FP6 STREP project. Theme 2: Life-like perception-action hierarchical hybrid control model for intelligent grasping. The life-like perception-action model will be developed. The visual cues will be integrated in the new life-like perception-action model. These results will be used for designing of the hierarchical hybrid control of the SmartHand and cognitive feedback. The essence of the control is to integrate synergistic control at the coordination level (discrete control) with the dynamics (continuous control). The synergies relate to timing synchronies and spatial mappings between the joint trajectories in the state space. Project leader: Prof. Thomas Laurell, Lund University, Sweden.
