Enhancing our understanding of human fine manipulation skills and advancing robot dexterity in grasping
From surgery to watchmaking, fine-manipulation skills highly rely on the dexterity afforded by both hands. Coordination is key to human dexterity. Specifically, humans need not only to govern the abundant intrinsic degrees of freedom (DOFs) to allocate con ...
EPFL2022Hand pose selection in a bimanual fine-manipulation task
Many daily tasks involve the collaboration of both hands. Humans dexterously adjust hand poses and modulate the forces exerted by fingers in response to task demands. Hand pose selection has been intensively studied in unimanual tasks, but little work has ...
2021Tribological Approach to the Watch Movements
Valentine Agnès Madeleine Magnin
Mechanical watches are complex and sensitive systems that have to maintain a faultless precision over their lifetime. However, this precision can be altered by disturbances occurring during the functioning time, such as friction, lubricant drying, or wear, ...
EPFL2020Real-Time Personalized Atrial Fibrillation Prediction on Multi-Core Wearable Sensors
David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Miguel Peon Quiros, Adriana Arza Valdes, Elisabetta De Giovanni
In the recent Internet-of-Things (IoT) era where biomedical applications require continuous monitoring of relevant data, edge computing keeps gaining more and more importance. These new architectures for edge computing include multi-core and parallel compu ...
2020Science Communication Desperately Needs More Aligned Recommendation Algorithms
With 1 billion watch-time hours per day, YouTube now plays a major role in communication. Unfortunately, a large amount of misinformation is produced and widely shared on this platform (Donzelli et al., 2018; Allgaier, 2019; Loeb et al., 2019). In this pap ...

Yves Perriard, Herbert Shea, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Vito Cacucciolo, Xiaobin Ji, Xinchang Liu
Head‐mounted displays for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) allow users to see highly realistic virtual worlds. The wearable haptics that enable feeling and touching these virtual objects are typically bulky, tethered, and provide only low fi ...
2020An inverse optimization approach to understand human acquisition of kinematic coordination in bimanual fine manipulation tasks
Tasks that require the cooperation of both hands and arms are common in human everyday life. Coordination helps to synchronize in space and temporally motion of the upper limbs. In fine bimanual tasks, coordination enables also to achieve higher degrees of ...
2020Appearance of polished 18 karat gold surfaces: linking aesthetics to surface features
Impeccable appearance of surfaces is a key constraint in high-end jewelry and watch manufacturing. Based on long tradition in the industry, appearance of products is assessed by trained individuals through visual inspection in designated intervals on the p ...
EPFL2019Towards Understanding of Human Kinematic Coordination Patterns in Bimanual Fine Manipulation Tasks
Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao, Anaïs Betsabeh Haget
Skills that require the collaboration of both arms are common in humans’ everyday activities, and the coordination of upper limbs is key to human bimanual dexterity. The Skill Acquisition in Humans and Robots (ERC) project aims at obtaining a better unders ...
