Abstract: Prosthesis including prosthetic links driven by actuators, first sensors that sense current state ZUS(t); second sensors that sense biosignals SIGBIO(t); third sensors that sense data DUMG(t); processing device; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing device, perform operations including: determining based on SIGBIO(t), ZUS(t), and DUMG(t), model MA(t) of an action A, and predicting motions Beweg(MA(t)), dependent on MA(t) for a time period; determining a decision E to replace A with an action A?(E) based on SIGBIO(t), ZUS(t), DUMG(t), and Beweg(MA(t)) according to an evaluation scheme, wherein A?(E) can define a reflexive and/or protective motion, and if A?(E) does not define the reflexive and/or protective motion, then determining model MA?(t) of A?(E) and predicting motions Beweg(MA?(t)), dependent on MA?(t), for the time period; deriving control signals Sig(t) based on Beweg(MA(t)) or Beweg(MA?(t)), or based on the reflexive and/or protective motion, and controlling/regulatin

Abstract: A method and device for the control and regulation of actuators of a robot, taking environmental contacts into consideration, wherein the robot comprises at least two parts, which are connected by an articulated joint drivable by an actuator. The method comprises: by way of a sensor system, ascertaining and storing a time-dependent variable, as a function of the time, of one or more external contact forces and/or of one or more external moments on the parts, providing a condition for the variable, classifying the feature vector based on predefined categories, which each indicate a contact type between one of the parts or the articulated joint and an object in a surrounding environment, which are each imparted by corresponding external contact forces and/or external contact moments, to generate a classification result, and open-loop and/or closed-loop control of the actuator as a function of the classification result.
