BACKGROUND: Treadmill based Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (t-RAGT) provides for automated locomotor training to help the patient achieve a physiological gait pattern, reducing the physical effort required by therapist. By introducing the robot as a ...
Semi-passive rehabilitation robots resist and steer a patient's motion using only controllable passive force elements (e.g., controllable brakes). Contrarily, passive robots use uncontrollable passive force elements (e.g., springs), while active robo...
Notification systems that convey urgency without adding cognitive burden are crucial in human-computer interaction. Haptic feedback systems, particularly those utilizing vibration feedback, have emerged as a compelling solution, capable of providing ...
The emulation of tactile sensory nerves to achieve advanced sensory functions in robotics with artificial intelligence is of great interest. However, such devices remain bulky and lack reliable competence to functionalize further synaptic devices wit...
Trunk compensatory movements frequently manifest during robotic-assisted arm reaching exercises for upper limb rehabilitation following a stroke, potentially impeding functional recovery. These aberrant movements are prevalent among stroke survivors ...

Individuals with neurological disorders often exhibit altered manual dexterity and muscle weakness in their upper limbs. These motor impairments with tremor lead to severe difficulties in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL). There is a critic...
Robotic assistance can improve the learning of complex motor skills. However, the assistance designed and used up to now mainly guides motor commands for trajectory learning, not dynamics learning. The present study explored how a complex motor skill...
We present an avatar system designed to facilitate the embodiment of humanoid robots by human operators, validated through iCub3, a humanoid developed at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. More precisely, the paper makes two contributions: First, w...
