As robotic devices are applied to problems beyond traditional manufacturing and industrial
settings, we find that interaction between robots and humans, especially physical interaction …

It is generally accepted that augmented feedback, provided by a human expert or a technical
display, effectively enhances motor learning. However, discussion of the way to most …

Many practical applications lead to optimization problems that can either be stated as
quadratic programming (QP) problems or require the solution of QP problems on a lower …

Generating a defined motion is one of the fundamental tasks for a machine. By definition, a
robot is a universal machine dedicated to creating motion that can be freely programmed. A …

Concurrent augmented feedback has been shown to be less effective for learning simple
motor tasks than for complex tasks. However, as mostly artificial tasks have been …

Nowadays there are very little robot systems in operation in the field of medium to large-
scale handling and assembly mostly due to lack of repetitive processes or shortcomings in …

One of the primary reasons for long-term disabilities in the world is strokes. The causes of
these cerebrovascular diseases are various, ie, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. For …

Augmented feedback, provided by coaches or displays, is a well-established strategy to
accelerate motor learning. Frequent terminal feedback and concurrent feedback have been …

While haptic guidance can improve ongoing performance of a motor task, several studies
have found that it ultimately impairs motor learning. However, some recent studies suggest …

Multilink cable-driven manipulators offer the compactness of serial mechanisms while
benefitting from the advantages of cable-actuated systems. One major challenge in …
