Development of upper limb prosthesis technology

As a leading-edge research field of robotics and biomedical engineering, upper limb prosthesis reflects comprehensive application of advanced technology. In this paper, current research and development of upper limb prosthesis in recent years was analyzed, including the control, signal sources, BCI technique, etc. Finally, the further development directions of upper limb prosthesis technology were also discussed.
