A Biomimetic Myoelectric Tentacle Prosthesis with Sensorless Object Detection and Vibrotactile Feedback

This research developed a myoelectric tentacle prosthesis inspired by octopuses to interact with objects of various shapes using muscle signals. The system uses electromyography for control, detects objects by analyzing motor current changes, and provides tactile feedback via vibrations. It successfully demonstrated real-time responsiveness and reliable object detection.
