Development of vibrotactile sensory feedback for prosthetic hand user

Executing daily chores with missing limbs is undoubtedly very challenging. For a person who has lost his lower arm, it is highly desirable to replace this loss with a device that not only identical in appearance, but closely mimics its capabilities. While there are many prosthetic products of m...
