The traces of amputations and those of the tools/apparatus proposed, designed and manufactured to replace the lost upper or lower limbs can be found in Antiquity. Amputees and/or tetraplegics have varying degrees of disability and anatomical dysfunction. However, existing upper arm prosthetics, particularly the prosthetic hands, are quite far from being able to substitute the lost functions. Nevertheless, the applications of Brain Machine Interface (BMI) in this domain give promising results to make the prosthetic control system more robust, functional and easy to use. In this talk I will present two projects aiming at the development invasive and non-invasive BMI systems to control respectively an anthropomorphic robotic hand (Shadow hand) actuated by artificial muscles and a myoelectric hand (Ottobock).
