Decentralized control with cross-coupled sensory feedback between body and limbs in sprawling locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Quadrupeds achieve rapid and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts such as their trunk, head, and tail, i.e. body-limb coordination. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism underlying ...

Robotic Exoskeleton for Wrist and Fingers Joint in Post-Stroke Neuro-Rehabilitation for Low-Resource Settings.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robots have the potential to help provide exercise therapy in a repeatable and reproducible manner for stroke survivors. To facilitate rehabilitation of the wrist and fingers joint, an electromechanical exoskeleton was developed that simultaneously m...

Visual vs vibrotactile feedback for posture assessment during upper-limb robot-aided rehabilitation.

Applied ergonomics
Repetitive and intensive exercises during robot-aided rehabilitation may expose patients to inappropriate and unsafe postures. The introduction of a sensory feedback can help the subject to perform the rehabilitation task with an ergonomic posture. I...

Fore-aft resistance applied at the center of mass using a novel robotic interface proportionately increases propulsive force generation in healthy nonimpaired individuals walking at a constant speed.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Past studies have utilized external interfaces like resistive bands and motor-generated pulling systems to increase limb propulsion during walking on a motorized treadmill. However, assessing changes in limb propulsion against increasing ...

SwarmTouch: Guiding a Swarm of Micro-Quadrotors With Impedance Control Using a Wearable Tactile Interface.

IEEE transactions on haptics
To achieve a smooth and safe guiding of a drone formation by a human operator, we propose a novel interaction strategy for a human-swarm communication, which combines impedance control and vibrotactile feedback. The presented approach takes into acco...

Haptic Feedback Perception and Learning With Cable-Driven Guidance in Exosuit Teleoperation of a Simulated Drone.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to...

Human-Robot Team Interaction Through Wearable Haptics for Cooperative Manipulation.

IEEE transactions on haptics
The interaction of robot teams and single human in teleoperation scenarios is beneficial in cooperative tasks, for example, the manipulation of heavy and large objects in remote or dangerous environments. The main control challenge of the interaction...

A Haptic Shared-Control Architecture for Guided Multi-Target Robotic Grasping.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Although robotic telemanipulation has always been a key technology for the nuclear industry, little advancement has been seen over the last decades. Despite complex remote handling requirements, simple mechanically linked master-slave manipulators st...

Combining Haptic and Bang-Bang Braking Actions for Passive Robotic Walker Path Following.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Robotic walkers are a promising solution for physical and cognitive support to older adults. This paper proposes a low cost path following strategy combining the advantages of a simple mechanical braking guidance, such as safety, passivity, and a low...

Multi-Modal Haptic Feedback for Grip Force Reduction in Robotic Surgery.

Scientific reports
Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows for many advantages over traditional surgical procedures, but the loss of force feedback combined with a potential for strong grasping forces can result in excessive tissue damage. Single modality haptic feed...
