Accurate dynamic object manipulation in a robotic hand remains a difficult task, especially when frictional slip is involved. Prior solutions involve extensive data collection to train complex models to control the hand that do not necessarily generalize to other slip circumstances. Our approach foc
Wrist-driven orthotics have been designed to assist people with C6-7 spinal cord injury, however, the kinematic constraint imposed by such a control strategy can impede mobility and lead to abnormal body motion. This study characterizes body compensation using the novel Tenodesis Grasp Emulator, an…
In this paper we present a novel method of categorizing naturalistic human arm motions during activities of daily living using clustering techniques. While many current approaches attempt to define all arm motions using heuristic interpretation, or a combination of several abstract motion primitives…
