CPS:Small:Cyber-physical system challenges in man-machine interfaces: context-dependent control of smart artificial hands through enhanced touch pe

Algorithms will be developed for real-time coordination, cooperation, and autonomy of the biological and artificial agents comprising the man-machine interface of a neuroprosthetic hand system. Methods and Tools Methods will be developed for enabling touch perception for man-machine interfaces and also for context-dependent decision-making that use computational and physical resources (high-level cortical control from the biological agent, low-level spinal-like reflexes from built into the prosthesis) efficiently based on the spatial and temporal scales of the required response.
