AMiCUS-A Head Motion-Based Interface for Control of an Assistive Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Within this work we present AMiCUS, a Human-Robot Interface that enables tetraplegics to control a multi-degree of freedom robot arm in real-time using solely head motion, empowering them to perform simple manipulation tasks independently. The articl...

Providing Aging Adults Social Robots' Companionship in Home-Based Elder Care.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Population aging is increasingly serious. The application of social robots for home-based elder care is an important way to solve this problem. Aging adults' demands for social robots' companionship affect robotic designs. This study aimed to investi...

Learning the signatures of the human grasp using a scalable tactile glove.

Nature
Humans can feel, weigh and grasp diverse objects, and simultaneously infer their material properties while applying the right amount of force-a challenging set of tasks for a modern robot. Mechanoreceptor networks that provide sensory feedback and en...

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...

Characterized Bioelectric Signals by Means of Neural Networks and Wavelets to Remotely Control a Human-Machine Interface.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Everyday, people interact with different types of human machine interfaces, and the use of them is increasing, thus, it is necessary to design interfaces which are capable of responding in an intelligent, natural, inexpensive, and accessible way, reg...

A Generic Human-Machine Annotation Framework Based on Dynamic Cooperative Learning.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
The task of obtaining meaningful annotations is a tedious work, incurring considerable costs and time consumption. Dynamic active learning and cooperative learning are recently proposed approaches to reduce human effort of annotating data with subjec...

Evaluating sociotechnical dynamics in a simulated remotely-piloted aircraft system: a layered dynamics approach.

Ergonomics
As coordination mechanisms change and technology failures occur, a sociotechnical system must reorganise itself across human and technological layers to maintain effectiveness. We present a study examining reorganisation across communication, control...

A novel multiple communication paths for surgical telepresence videos delivery of the maxilla area in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: A surgical telepresence between two surgical sites where a local surgeon in the surgery site, who is less experienced, needs help from the expert surgeon located at a remote site. Furthermore, the primary aim of this paper is to improve the ...

An EOG-based wheelchair robotic arm system for assisting patients with severe spinal cord injuries.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we combine a wheelchair and an intelligent robotic arm based on an electrooculogram (EOG) signal to help patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) accomplish a self-drinking task. The main challenge is to accurately control ...

The Relationship Between Trust and Use Choice in Human-Robot Interaction.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: To understand the influence of trust on use choice in human-robot interaction via experimental investigation.
