1. A device for estimating a force applied on an object, the device comprising:
one or a plurality of biopotential sensors configured to be placed on a limb of a user and to measure one or more biopotential signals from one or more muscles or one or more nerves of the limb;
an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to measure one or more inertial properties of the limb, and
a processor configured;
to obtain the measured one or more biopotential signals and one or more measured inertial properties, and
to estimate the force applied on the object by the limb of the user based on a model constructed from samples of biopotential signals and inertial properties collected from a plurality of users who applied a known force, wherein the processor is configured to estimate weight of the object.
