^aYear ranges are determined by the year span between found literature sources and my differ from the actual time of development
^bActuator DOF = number of individually controlled actuators (zero means fully passive)
^cWrist can be assisted, resisted, limited or locked [29] in pronation/supination (PS), flexion/extension (FE) and radial/ulnar deviation (RUD)
