The loss or congenital absence of a limb is a major disability that can have considerable physical and psychological impact on the life of an amputee. It is estimated that there are more than 3 million upper limb amputees globally, with the rate of incidence growing steadily. Better robotic prostheses can dramatically improve the quality of life for persons with an upper limb amputation, many of whom reject existing devices because they have trouble controlling them in the same intuitive, subconscious way that they controlled their intact arms.

肢体的丧失或先天性缺失是一种严重的残疾，对截肢者的生活会产生相当大的生理和心理影响。 据估计，全球有300多万上肢截肢者，发病率稳步上升。更好的机器人假肢可以大大提高上肢截肢者的生活质量，他们中的许多人拒绝使用现有的设备，因为他们难以像控制完好的手臂那样直观、潜意识地控制它们。
