The Robotics Editorial Office retracts the article, “A Newly Designed Wearable Robotic Hand Exoskeleton Controlled by EMG Signals and ROS Embedded Systems” [1] cited above.
Following publication, the Editorial Office was made aware of concerns relating to overlap between this article [1] and a previously published article [2].
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board, which confirmed the significant overlap between this article [1] and the previously published article [2] with a different authorship group and without appropriate citation. This overlap included a number of overlapping figures and tables, as well as significant similarities in the analysis of the samples. Therefore, the Robotics Editorial Office and Editorial Board have taken the decision to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 16 January 2024).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Robotics.
The authors disagree with the retraction.
