Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Artificial motor control

This chapter will:

  • show that artificial motor control systems act in parallel to the affected physiological control system, with the task to support this system effectively,
  • show that the artificial motor control system can have several objectives:
    • to contribute in real time contol of a motor function,
    • to train the CNS by externally applied stimuli with the objective to assist in relearning the physiological motor control by the CNS,
    • to influence the operation and tuning of the physiological motor system by applying constant stimuli (neuromodulation).
