In the contemporary world, we can find a plethora of fitness solutions ranging from personal
training to mobile application-based training. However, any given solution fails to provide a …

Foot devices have been ubiquitously used in surgery to control surgical equipment. Most
common applications are foot switches for electro-surgery, endoscope positioning and tele …

Supernumerary robotic limbs may one day allow people to perform tasks as if they had an
extra limb, extending human capabilities. One challenge with supernumerary robotic limbs is …

We seek to augment human manipulation by enabling humans to control two robotic arms in
addition to their natural arms using their feet. Thereby, the hands are free to perform tasks of …

To operate robots and machines intuitively, interfaces using body motion have recently been
investigated. However, compared to the upper limbs, the lower limb operation has not been …

The range of motion of the human lower limbs is comparable to that of the upper limbs,
which suggests the feasibility of controlling a device with multiple degrees of freedom using …

In this paper, we propose a 6-DOF haptic interface with force feedback capability for foot-
based interaction. To direct a" third arm" to any position that the operator wants to reach …

Foot-based teleoperation can provide the user with hands-free control of a robotic assistive
arm without interrupting the ongoing task in various potential industrial and medical …

Robots are used in a wide variety of applications to augment the capability of humans. A
relatively new category of assistive robots, supernumerary robots (SRs), create an …

The aim of my dissertation was to investigate the command and control of machines by
humans. There have been many control methods to interface with machines, and this …
