Megane Pro: Myo-electricity, visual and gaze tracking data acquisitions to improve hand prosthetics.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
During the past 60 years scientific research proposed many techniques to control robotic hand prostheses with surface electromyography (sEMG). Few of them have been implemented in commercial systems also due to limited robustness that may be improved...

A lightweight robotic ankle prosthesis with non-backdrivable cam-based transmission.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Below-knee level amputation significantly impacts the ability of an individual to ambulate. Transtibial amputees are typically prescribed energetically passive ankle-foot prostheses that behave as a spring or controlled damper, and therefore cannot f...

Adaptive learning to speed-up control of prosthetic hands: A few things everybody should know.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Domain adaptation methods have been proposed to reduce the training efforts needed to control an upper-limb prosthesis by adapting well performing models from previous subjects to the new subject. These studies generally reported impressive reduction...

Modelling engagement in dementia through behaviour. Contribution for socially interactive robotics.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present a novel tool to measure engagement in people with dementia playing board games and interacting with a social robot, Pleo. We carried out two studies to reach a comprehensive inventory of behaviours accounting for engagement ...

Prediction of user preference over shared-control paradigms for a robotic wheelchair.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The design of intelligent powered wheelchairs has traditionally focused heavily on providing effective and efficient navigation assistance. Significantly less attention has been given to the end-user's preference between different assistance paradigm...

Novel neural interface electrode array for the peripheral nerve.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Peripheral neural interface (PNI) is becoming an essential technology in the field of robotic prosthesis due to its potential for providing bidirectional neural signal communication between the prosthetic arm and the brain. However, current PNIs inef...

Towards free 3D end-point control for robotic-assisted human reaching using binocular eye tracking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Eye-movements are the only directly observable behavioural signals that are highly correlated with actions at the task level, and proactive of body movements and thus reflect action intentions. Moreover, eye movements are preserved in many movement d...

"Wink to grasp" - comparing eye, voice & EMG gesture control of grasp with soft-robotic gloves.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The ability of robotic rehabilitation devices to support paralysed end-users is ultimately limited by the degree to which human-machine-interaction is designed to be effective and efficient in translating user intention into robotic action. Specifica...

Quantitative assessment of motor functions post-stroke: Responsiveness of upper-extremity robotic measures and its task dependence.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Technology aided measures offer a sensitive, accurate and time-efflcient approach for the assessment of sensorimotor function after neurological impairment compared to standard clinical assessments. This preliminary study investigated the relationshi...

Robotic therapy for phantom limb pain in upper limb amputees.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The system described in this paper combines virtual reality with haptic feedback to increase the level of immersion and invoke the sense of agency in patients with phantom limb pain with the aim of reducing perceived pain. This paper presents three c...
