Bimanual humanoid platforms for home assistance are nowadays available, both as academic prototypes and commercially. Although they are usually thought of as daily helpers for non-disabled users, their ability to move around, together with their dext...
For gaining proficiency in physical human-robot interactions, it is crucial for engineering students to be provided with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with robotic devices that feature kinesthetic feedback. In this article, we propose H...
PURPOSE: To investigate the sustainability of Robot-assisted upper limb therapy (RT-UL) as part of routine occupational therapy and physiotherapy clinical practice.

This paper provides an in-depth study and analysis of robot vision features for predictive control and a global calibration of their feature completeness. The acquisition and use of the complete macrofeature set are studied in the context of a robot ...
Soft actuators (SAs) have been used in many compliant robotic structure and wearable devices, due to their safe interaction with the wearers. Despite advances, the capability of current SAs is limited by scalability, high hysteresis, and slow respons...
