This paper proposes an embedded tactile sensory feedback system for the upper-limb prosthesis. The feedback system delivers tactile information extracted from tactile sensors to the user through electrocutaneous stimulation. The proposed system has been tested experimentally on three healthy subjects. Results demonstrate the correct feedback of...
