Controlling a robotic arm to achieve manipulation tasks is challenging for humans. Especially if only low-dimensional input signals can be provided, as is often the case for users with motor impairments. Using shared control to provide task-specific guidance and constraints facilitates control – for…
Injuries, accidents, strokes, and other diseases can significantly degrade the capabilities to perform even the most simple activities in daily life. A large share of these cases involves neuromuscular diseases, which lead to severely reduced muscle function. However, even though affected people are…
Myoelectric control is the process of controlling a prosthesis or an assistive robot by using electrical signals of the muscles. Pattern recognition in myoelectric control is a challenging field, since the underlying distribution of the signal is likely to change during the application. Covariate sh
Light-weight robotic manipulators can be used to restore the manipulation capability of people with a motor disability. However, manipulating the environment poses a complex task, especially when the control interface is of low bandwidth, as may be the case for users with impairments. Therefore, we…
Light-weight robotic manipulators in combination with power wheelchairs can help to restore the mobility of people with disabilities. While such systems are available on the market, they typically are limited to fully manual control modes. In research, shared control methods are employed, to increas…
This paper examines the capability to incorporate spatial force feedback to the human toe when teleoperating a robotic arm in a force task. Due to the growing complexity of teleoperated systems new means of feedback get increasingly important. To investigate the viability of spatial toe-feedback, ex…
