Impairments in dexterous upper limb function are a significant cause of disability following
stroke. While the physiological basis of movement deficits consequent to a lesion in the …

Robot teleoperation via human motion tracking has been proven to be easy to learn, intuitive
to operate, and facilitate faster task execution than existing baselines. However, precise …

When lifting objects whose center of mass (CoM) are not centered below the handle one
must compensate for arising external torques already at lift-off to avoid object tilt. Previous …

How to best understand how animals think about the world? Considering that cognition
develops in interactions with the outside world, we need to compare the cognitive …

Successful object manipulation requires anticipatory high-level control of finger positions
and forces to prevent object slip and tilt. Unlike young adults, who efficiently scale grip forces …

When interacting with objects, we often rely on visual information. However, vision is not
always the most reliable sense for determining relevant object properties. For example …

Anticipatory force control is a fundamental means by which humans stave off slipping,
spilling, and tilting disasters while manipulating objects. This control must often be adapted …

Humans are seamless in their ability to efficiently and reliably generate fingertip forces to
gracefully interact with objects. Such interactions rarely end in awkward outcomes like …

There is growing evidence that manual dexterity declines with age and can be impaired at
both hands following stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly …

Tele-nursing robots offer a safe approach to patient care in quarantine areas during
pandemics, reducing infection risks for healthcare workers and patients. They may also …
