Abstract
Techniques are provided for using machine learning methods to predict user preferences with respect to robotic assistive prostheses and/or custom tune the robotic assistive prostheses for individual users based on the predicted user preferences. A training biomechanical dataset, including historical biomechanical sensor data for a robotic assistive prosthetic device operating using a plurality of tuning settings at a plurality of speeds, and a training user preference dataset including historical user tuning preference data for the robotic assistive prosthetic device for each respective tuning setting and speed, are generated. A machine learning model is trained using the training biomechanical dataset and the training user preference dataset. The trained machine learning model is applied to new biomechanical sensor data associated with a particular user to predict the user's tuning preferences for the robotic assistive prosthetic device, and the settings of the device are automatically modified based on the predicted tuning preferences.
