Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) are wearable robots designed to enhance the
sensorimotor abilities of humans. SRLs can be used to compensate for lost functions in …

Human–robot collaboration (HRC) is expected to add flexibility and agility to production
lines in manufacturing plants. In this context, versatile scheduling algorithms are needed to …

Upper-limb impairments are all-pervasive in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). As a
consequence, people affected by a loss of arm function must endure severe limitations. To …

Facial nerve paralysis (FNP) has a significant effect on a person's quality of life. In
individuals with FNP undergoing facial rehabilitation, methods to analyze the loss of function …

A two-study approach was used to explore the effects of tactile feedback patterns on virtual
reality gaming experiences of participants, including presence, flow, usability, emotion …

The teleoperation of complex, kinematically redundant robots with loco-manipulation
capabilities represents a challenge for human operators, who have to learn how to operate …

This extended abstract presents a wearable system for assistance that is a combination of
different technologies including sensing, haptics, orthotics and robotics. The result is a …

Operators involved in plant and machine maintenance operations are often exposed to
many risks due to hazardous tasks. This is evident especially during the maintenance of …

Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRL) represent a new class of wearable robots that can
augment human manipulation capabilities. SRL can be controlled through input interfaces …

This thesis presents my research contribution to robotics and haptics in the context of human
augmentation. In particular, in this document, we are interested in bodily or sensorimotor …
