On neuromechanical approaches for the study of biological and robotic grasp and manipulation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Biological and robotic grasp and manipulation are undeniably similar at the level of mechanical task performance. However, their underlying fundamental biological vs. engineering mechanisms are, by definition, dramatically different and can even be a...

Escape and surveillance asymmetries in locusts exposed to a Guinea fowl-mimicking robot predator.

Scientific reports
Escape and surveillance responses to predators are lateralized in several vertebrate species. However, little is known on the laterality of escapes and predator surveillance in arthropods. In this study, we investigated the lateralization of escape a...

Compensation for Magnetic Disturbances in Motion Estimation to Provide Feedback to Wearable Robotic Systems.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The direction of the Earth's magnetic field is used as a reference vector to determine the heading in orientation estimation with wearable sensors. However, the magnetic field strength is weak and can be easily disturbed in the vicinity of ferromagne...

Droplets As Liquid Robots.

Artificial life
Liquid droplets are very simple objects present in our everyday life. They are extremely important for many natural phenomena as well as for a broad variety of industrial processes. The conventional research areas in which the droplets are studied in...

The effectiveness of robotic training depends on motor task characteristics.

Experimental brain research
Previous research suggests that the effectiveness of robotic training depends on the motor task to be learned. However, it is still an open question which specific task's characteristics influence the efficacy of error-modulating training strategies....

Tele-Manipulation with Two Asymmetric Slaves: Two Operators Perform Better Than One.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Certain tele-manipulation tasks require manipulation by two asymmetric slaves, for example, a crane for hoisting and a dexterous robotic arm for fine manipulation. It is unclear how to best design human-in-the-loop control over two asymmetric slaves....

Enhancing the effectiveness of human-robot teaming with a closed-loop system.

Applied ergonomics
With technological developments in robotics and their increasing deployment, human-robot teams are set to be a mainstay in the future. To develop robots that possess teaming capabilities, such as being able to communicate implicitly, the present stud...

Is two better than one? Muscle vibration plus robotic rehabilitation to improve upper limb spasticity and function: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
Even though robotic rehabilitation is very useful to improve motor function, there is no conclusive evidence on its role in reducing post-stroke spasticity. Focal muscle vibration (MV) is instead very useful to reduce segmental spasticity, with a con...

Using Temporal Sensitivity to Predict Performance Under Latency in Teleoperation.

Human factors
Objective This article establishes a relationship between temporal sensitivity and task performance under one-way latency between input and response. Background As the latency between human input and telerobot response increases, performance (e.g., s...
