Trends and challenges in robot manipulation.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Dexterous manipulation is one of the primary goals in robotics. Robots with this capability could sort and package objects, chop vegetables, and fold clothes. As robots come to work side by side with humans, they must also become human-aware. Over th...

Validation of a robot serious game assessment protocol for upper limb motor impairment in children with cerebral palsy.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The ROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of fo...

Development of a robotic upper limb assessment to configure a serious game.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUNDROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) in stroke patients. The serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of force) are adapted based on the patie...

Efficacy of Armeo® Robotic Therapy Versus Conventional Therapy on Upper Limb Function in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of Armeo robotic therapy, compared with conventional therapy, on upper limb function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Quantitative assessment of motor functions post-stroke: Responsiveness of upper-extremity robotic measures and its task dependence.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Technology aided measures offer a sensitive, accurate and time-efflcient approach for the assessment of sensorimotor function after neurological impairment compared to standard clinical assessments. This preliminary study investigated the relationshi...

Automation of motor dexterity assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motor dexterity assessment is regularly performed in rehabilitation wards to establish patient status and automatization for such routinary task is sought. A system for automatizing the assessment of motor dexterity based on the Fugl-Meyer scale and ...

How do strength and coordination recovery interact after stroke? A computational model for informing robotic training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic devices can train strength, coordination, or a combination of both. If a robotic device focuses on coordination, what happens to strength recovery, and vice versa? Understanding this interaction could help optimize robotic training. We develo...

Improving motor skill transfer during dyadic robot training through the modulation of the expert role.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In daily life it is necessary to learn skills that can be applied in different tasks and different contexts. Usually these skills are acquired by observation or by direct physical training with another expert person. The critical point is to know whi...

Robot-induced perturbations of human walking reveal a selective generation of motor adaptation.

Science robotics
The processes underlying the generation of motor adaptation in response to mechanical perturbations during human walking have been subject to debate. We used a robotic system to apply mechanical perturbations to step length and step height over conse...
