Highly functional upper-limb prostheses have been developed to restore dexterous end-effector motion, but increased mechanical functionality often leads to greater weight, more complex control schemes, and higher cost. In the absence of modular, reconfigurable robotic platforms, prosthesis selection
Ordering-based approaches to causal discovery identify topological orders of causal graphs, providing scalable alternatives to combinatorial search methods. Under the Additive Noise Models (ANMs) assumption, recent causal ordering methods based on score matching require an accurate estimation of the…
Integrating functional wrist articulation in prosthetic robot arms is crucial for enhancing natural movement and reducing compensatory upper limb motions. However, two significant challenges remain in electromyography (sEMG)-based prosthetic control: (1) real-time processing via efficient model desi
Upper limb prostheses do not provide proprioceptive cues to their users, which impedes performance in grasp and manipulation tasks. Various sensory substitution methods have been developed to provide prosthesis users with a sense of the device's position, orientation, and terminal device aperture. H
In a previous study, a tethered pelvic-assist device (TPAD) was used to successfully retrain crouch gait in children with cerebral palsy by applying a downward force on the pelvis while walking on a treadmill. While the results of this study were promising, an important issue was to translate this t
Dynamic seated trunk control is required during the execution of many everyday tasks. These tasks require an intricate coordination between the head, upper and lower trunk, and the pelvis. Furthermore, reaching beyond the arm's length requires precise joint control and intersegmental coordination. W
