About
Lukas-Karim Merhi is a pioneering researcher in the field of assistive and rehabilitative technology, with a particular focus on advanced prosthetic control systems for upper extremity amputees. His work centers on developing more intuitive and reliable interfaces between human intent and robotic prosthetic limbs, addressing one of the most persistent challenges in the field: translating a user's movement intentions into accurate, responsive prosthetic action. Merhi's most influential contribution is his exploration of Force Myography (FMG) as a powerful alternative or complement to traditional surface electromyography (sEMG) for prosthetic control. His 2016 feasibility study on FMG-controlled robotic prostheses has garnered 137 citations, establishing a strong foundation for subsequent research. Building on this, he has investigated multi-sensor fusion approaches and pattern recognition techniques to overcome real-world challenges such as limb position effects, which commonly degrade prosthetic performance during everyday activities. Through a series of impactful case studies and pilot investigations, Merhi has demonstrated that combining FMG with sEMG and intelligent pattern recognition can substantially improve prosthetic dexterity and usability. His cumulative work, totaling over 240 citations, positions him as a meaningful contributor to the advancement of biomimetic, user-centered prosthetic technologies.
