Classification: CPC A  B | IPC A  B

Claim 4:
5. A system for controlling a prosthetic limb or an exoskeleton comprising:
the skin patch according to claim 1, wherein the at least one electrode comprises a plurality of electrodes for sensing electromyographic (EMG) signals in a residual limb or a limb coupled to the exoskeleton, wherein the plurality of electrodes is coupled to a transmitter, and the transmitter is configured to transmit a data signal corresponding to sensed EMG signals via the antenna;
optionally at least one of the plurality of electrodes comprises at least one of: a needle electrode or a silicon electrode; and
a controller configured for coupling to the residual limb or to the limb coupled to the exoskeleton, the exoskeleton comprising:
an antenna for receiving the data signal from the skin patch, the antenna to transmit wireless power to the skin patch;
a receiver coupled to the antenna for processing the received data signal;
a transmitter coupled to the antenna for communications with the skin patch; and
the controller coupled to the receiver for generating a plurality of motion control commands for the prosthetic limb or the exoskeleton,

wherein the prosthetic limb or the exoskeleton is coupled to the controller and configured to receive and respond to the motion control commands.
