Optimal feedback control is an established framework that is used to characterize human movement. However, it is not fully understood how the brain computes optimal gains through interactions with the environment. In the past study, we proposed a mod...
We present an approach for real-time model-free optimization of the orientation of the elliptical trajectory. The performance is evaluated in simulation and experimental stages. Our model-free approach is based on the use of Extremum Seeking Control ...
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because information about grasping objects is best relayed through tactile feedback...
BACKGROUND: Shedding light on the neuroscientific mechanisms of human upper limb motor control, in both healthy and disease conditions (e.g., after a stroke), can help to devise effective tools for a quantitative evaluation of the impaired conditions...

BACKGROUND: The clinical evaluation of the upper limb of severely impaired stroke patient is challenging. Sensor-based assessments may allow for an objective evaluation of this patient population. This study investigated the validity of a device-assi...
Collaborative part transportation is an interesting application as many industrial sectors require moving large parts among different areas of the workshops, using a large amount of the workforce on this tasks. Even so, the implementation of such kin...
This article constructs two adaptive control laws to achieve deformation reduction and attitude tracking for a rotary variable-length crane arm with system parameter uncertainties and asymmetric input-output constraints. Two auxiliary systems are giv...
