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...

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...
ObjectiveWe aimed to characterize the impact of startle and surprise, both independently and in combination, on subjective feelings, behavior (task performance and gaze behavior), and several physiological parameters.BackgroundThe effects of startle ...
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....
Work-related injuries from overexertion, particularly lifting, are a major concern in occupational safety. Traditional assessment tools, such as the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE), require significant training and practice for deployment. This...

UNLABELLED: Whether working together to move a table or supporting a child learning to ride a bike, physically connected individuals exchange haptic information to improve motor performance. However, this improvement occurs at the cost of additional ...
ObjectiveWe aimed to develop advanced machine learning models using electroencephalogram (EEG) and eye-tracking data to predict the mental workload associated with engaging in various surgical tasks.BackgroundTraditional methods of evaluating mental ...
