The prevailing and most effective approach to teleoperate a robotic arm involves a direct position-to-position mapping, imposing robotic end-effector movements that mirrors those of the user, Fig. 1-top. However, due to this one-to-one mapping, the robot's motions are limited by the user's capabilit
Through the use of robotic supernumerary limbs, it has been proposed that a single user could perform tasks like surgery or industrial assembly that currently require a team. Although validation studies, often conducted in virtual reality, have demonstrated that individuals can learn to command supe
This article presents an interactive control approach allowing a human user to teleoperate a robotic manipulator located nearby. With this approach, the user keeps his/her hands free, as only head movements are exploited to control the robot. The controller maps the 6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) user's
When the arm prosthesis worn by an amputated Human being is not adequately configured with respect to the end-effector task, body compensations are often observed. Namely, to compensate for a wrong joint positioning on the robotic distal side, a subject trying to reach a desired position/orientation…
