Embodiment Tactile Feedback Human Augmentation

Human Embodiment of Robotic Limbs

Biomechatronics Group, MIT

Muscle-driven control paired with tactile feedback, tracing how a limb the body has no blueprint for comes to feel like part of it — and what has to hold true before that ownership takes hold.
