This study compares muscle-based EMG and movement-based force sensor control of a robotic third thumb, finding force control performs better but EMG offers better generalisation.

This study shows that motor learning with an extra robotic limb can generalize across tasks, body postures, and control assignments, suggesting abstract motor representations, but users still prefer biological hands.

This study shows that wearable robotic devices provide natural sensory feedback that is quickly integrated into the body's representation and becomes more embodied with long-term use.

This study shows that intrinsic somatosensory signals from body parts controlling a robotic device support motor learning and performance, even when artificial feedback is absent.
