Abstract: The present invention relates to a hand motion control system and a control method thereof, and more specifically, to a hand motion control system for a myoelectric hand, and to a control method thereof. The system enables not only grasping motions for grasping an object, but also the expression of hand gestures expressing emotions or intent, based on a limited myoelectric signal transmitted via two myoelectric sensors provided on the myoelectric hand. Furthermore, the system enables a wide variety of hand postures and grasp types that are determined by the position of a thumb, which can be changed by a user, thus easily expanding the range of applications of the myoelectric hand.

Abstract: Disclosed is a motion-mode- and thumb-position-based motion control system and method of a myoelectric hand, and more particularly a motion-mode- and thumb-position-based motion control system and method of a myoelectric hand that is capable of performing a hand motion indicating emotion or intention expression as well as a grasping motion for holding an object according to restrictive electromyography signals transmitted from two electromyography sensors provided at the myoelectric hand and that is capable of diversifying hand motions and grips depending on the position of a thumb that can be changed by a user, whereby a utilization range of the myoelectric hand is simply extended.

Abstract: A hybrid artificial limb device is provided. A hybrid artificial limb device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises: a joint upper side connection member positioned at the upper side of a knee; a knee joint member connected to the joint upper side connection member; and a frame coupled to the knee joint member to be able to perform a pivot rotation, and forming a femoral part. When the frame performs a pivot rotation about the knee joint member, the passive power from the passive driving module and the active power from the active driving module may be selectively or simultaneously provided to the knee joint member.

The hybrid artificial limb device also comprises: a passive driving module which includes a hydraulic cylinder connected to the knee joint member, so as to transfer passive power to the knee joint member; and an active driving module which is coupled to the knee joint member so as to transfer active power to the knee joint member. When the frame performs a pivot rotation about the knee joint member, the passive power from the passive driving module and the active power from the active driving module may be selectively or simultaneously provided to the knee joint member.
