Shared human–robot proportional control of a dexterous myoelectric prosthesis

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Nicolas Sommer, Vincent Alexandre Mendez, Emanuele Formento, Katie Zhi Zhuang, Saurav Aryan

Myoelectric prostheses allow users to recover lost functionality by controlling a robotic device with their remaining muscle activity. Such commercial devices can give users a high level of autonomy, but still do not approach the dexterity of the intact hu ...

Wide-field imaging of cortical neuronal activity with red-shifted functional indicators during motor task execution

Silvestro Micera

Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) can be used to monitor the intracellular concentration of free calcium in populations of neurons. GECIs with long emission wavelengths are particularly attractive for deep tissue microscopy in vivo, and have t ...

Design of a Flexible Articulated Robotic Hand for a Humanoid Robot

Daniel Thalmann

It is often desirable for humanoid robots to have dexterous hands and perform human-like grasps. This requires a deliberate design of hands, in addition to a good actuation system and an efficient 3D vision system. In this paper, we present a simple method ...

Nonlinear PD plus sliding mode control with application to a parallel delta robot

Mohamed Bouri

In this paper, a hybrid nonlinear proportional-derivative-sliding mode controller (NPD-SMC) is developed for the trajectory tracking of robot manipulators. The proposed controller combines the advantage of the easy implementation of NPD control and the rob ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Psychosis is Linked to Neural Disconnectivity

Olaf Blanke, Alessandra Griffa, Patric Hagmann, Andrea Serino, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Silvia Marchesotti

Background: Schneiderian first rank symptoms (FRS) are characterized by a diminished demarcation of self-other boundaries, causing misattribution of self-generated thoughts and actions to external sources. We have shown that introducing sensorimotor predic ...

EMG-based decoding of grasp gestures in reaching-to-grasping motions

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia, Elvira Pirondini, Sahar El Khoury, Iason Batzianoulis

Predicting the grasping function during reach-to-grasp motions is essential for controlling a prosthetic hand or a robotic assistive device. An early accurate prediction increases the usability and the comfort of a prosthetic device. This work proposes an ...

Shoaling with fish: using miniature robotic agents to close the interaction loop with groups of zebrafish Danio rerio

Frank Bonnet

Robotic animals are nowadays developed for various types of research, such as bio-inspired robotics, biomimetics and animal behavior studies. The miniaturization of technologies and the increase in performance of embedded systems allowed engineers to devel ...

Multi-contact tactile exploration and interaction with unknown objects

Nicolas Sommer

Humans rely on the sense of touch in almost every aspect of daily life, whether to tie shoelaces, place fingertips on a computer keyboard or find keys inside a bag. With robots moving into human-centered environment, tactile exploration becomes more and mo ...
