abstract = "Upper-limb activities of daily living like eating and
drinking are crucial for self-determination and autonomy and,
thus, quality of life. Patients with neurodegenerative diseases
such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or cerebellar
ataxia are often severely impaired in performing these activities
of daily living. While these patients are still able to plan motor
actions, and their muscle strength is rarely impaired, tremor or
overshooting movements disturb the intended movements. This
occurs progressively in the course of disease in a way that inde-
pendent eating and drinking becomes increasingly difficult. The
goal of this research project is to develop a non-invasive assistive
device suppressing pathological movement components while
allowing intended movement. The newly designed hardware will
be controlled by a combination of computational methods to
detect user intention, detect pathological movement components
within intended movements, and predict the required correction
forces for several upper-limb activities of daily living. In this
manuscript, we will describe concepts of control hard- and
software as well as first implementation and experiments with
the individual components we plan to integrate in the future.",
