The loss of bilateral hand function is a debilitating challenge for millions of individuals that suffered a motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI). We have recently demonstrated in eight tetraplegic individuals the presence of highly functional spar...
This study explores manipulator control using reinforcement learning, specifically targeting anthropomorphic gripper-equipped robots, with the objective of enhancing the robots' ability to safely exchange diverse objects with humans during human-robo...
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...
In this paper, the innovative design of a robotic hand with soft jointed structure is carried out and a tendon-driven mechanism, a master-slave motor coordinated drive mechanism, a thumb coupling transmission mechanism and a thumb steering mechanism ...
Goal contagion, the tendency to adopt others' goals, significantly impacts cognitive processes, which gains particular importance in the emerging field of human-robot interactions. The present study explored how observing human versus robotic actions...
As robots are increasingly participating in our daily lives, the quests to mimic human abilities have driven the advancements of robotic multimodal senses. However, current perceptual technologies still unsatisfied robotic needs for home tasks/enviro...
