Recent years have seen a growing interest in the development of shared control strategies for upper limb prostheses. In this work, we take a critical step towards developing transhumeral devices by proposing a biomimetic control strategy for cooperative hand placement. This is achieved through a nov
Powered upper limb prostheses offer a particularly interesting case of human-machine interaction, where the user and the robot are physically coupled as an open chain manipulator. The biological and mechanical degrees of freedom (DOF) must collaborate for the user to manipulate objects in the enviro…
Many areas of scientific interest in planetary exploration, such as lunar pits, icy-moon crevasses, and Martian craters, are inaccessible to current wheeled rovers. Rappelling rovers can safely traverse these steep surfaces, but require techniques to navigate their complex terrain. This dynamic navi…
