Advanced human-machine interfaces render robotic devices applicable to study and enhance human cognition. This turns robots into formidable neuroscientific tools to study processes such as the adaptation between a human operator and the operated robo...
Many biological organisms (e.g. insects, birds, and mammals) rely on the perception of an informational variable called time-to-contact (TTC) to control their motion for various tasks such as avoiding obstacles, landing, or interception. TTC, defined...

In line with the sensorimotor contingency theory, we investigate the problem of the perception of space from a fundamental sensorimotor perspective. Despite its pervasive nature in our perception of the world, the origin of the concept of space remai...
Controlling contact with arbitrary, unknown objects defines a fundamental problem for robotic grasping and in-hand manipulation. In real-world scenarios, where robots interact with a variety of objects, the sheer number of possible contact interactio...

OBJECTIVE: Myoelectric hand prostheses have reached a considerable technological level and gained an increasing attention in assistive robotics. However, their abandonment rate remains high, with unintuitive control and lack of sensory feedback being...
Imitation and learning from humans require an adequate sensorimotor controller to learn and encode behaviors. We present the Dynamic Muscle Perception-Action(DM-PerAc) model to control a multiple degrees-of-freedom (DOF) robot arm. In the original Pe...
Physical therapy is an important component of gait recovery for individuals with locomotor dysfunction. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that incorporating a motor learning task through visual feedback of movement trajectory is a use...
