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 ...
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.
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...

Human-robot teaming has become increasingly important with the advent of intelligent machines. Prior efforts suggest that performance, mental workload, and trust are critical elements of human-robot dynamics that can be altered by the robot's behavio...
INTRODUCTION: Increased complexity in robotic-assisted surgical system interfaces introduces problems with human-robot collaboration that result in excessive mental workload (MWL), adversely impacting a surgeon's task performance and increasing error...

Detecting low cognitive scores at an early stage is important for delaying the progress of dementia. Investigations of early-stage detection have employed automatic assessment using dual-task (i.e., performing two different tasks simultaneously). How...
