Analysis of operational comfort in manual tasks using human force manipulability measure.

IEEE transactions on haptics
This paper proposes a scheme for human force manipulability (HFM) based on the use of isometric joint torque properties to simulate the spatial characteristics of human operation forces at an end-point of a limb with feasible magnitudes for a specifi...

A novel EOG/EEG hybrid human-machine interface adopting eye movements and ERPs: application to robot control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This study presents a novel human-machine interface (HMI) based on both electrooculography (EOG) and electroencephalography (EEG). This hybrid interface works in two modes: an EOG mode recognizes eye movements such as blinks, and an EEG mode detects ...

An Integrated Framework for Human-Robot Collaborative Manipulation.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
This paper presents an integrated learning framework that enables humanoid robots to perform human-robot collaborative manipulation tasks. Specifically, a table-lifting task performed jointly by a human and a humanoid robot is chosen for validation p...

Control of robotic assistance using poststroke residual voluntary effort.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Poststroke hemiparesis limits the ability to reach, in part due to involuntary muscle co-activation (synergies). Robotic approaches are being developed for both therapeutic benefit and continuous assistance during activities of daily living. Robotic ...

Toward a tactile language for human-robot interaction: two studies of tacton learning and performance.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: Two experiments were performed to investigate the feasibility for robot-to-human communication of a tactile language using a lexicon of standardized tactons (tactile icons) within a sentence.

End-point impedance measurements across dominant and nondominant hands and robotic assistance with directional damping.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
The goal of this paper is to perform end-point impedance measurements across dominant and nondominant hands while doing airbrush painting and to use the results for developing a robotic assistance scheme. We study airbrush painting because it resembl...

Extrinsic finger and thumb muscles command a virtual hand to allow individual finger and grasp control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Fine-wire intramuscular electrodes were used to obtain electromyogram (EMG) signals from six extrinsic hand muscles associated with the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Subjects' EMG activity was used to control a virtual three-degree-of-freedom (DO...

Stroke parameters identification algorithm in handwriting movements analysis by synthesis.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
This paper presents a new approach to identify the stroke parameters in handwriting movement data understanding. A two-step analysis by synthesis paradigm is employed to facilitate the coarse-to-fine parameter identification for all strokes. One is t...

Biomechanical analysis on neurotypical and autism spectrum disorder people during human-cobot interaction.

Applied ergonomics
Biomechanical analysis is essential for assessing subjects interacting with robotic setups and platforms. However, in industrial scenarios, workers' biomechanics are assessed mainly through questionnaires and scales which provide limited objectivity....
