Experiments on the lower limbs are the only approaches being used to study how hypogravity (HG) (0 < g < 1, e.g., Moon: 1/6 g, Mars: 3/8 g) affects human movement. The goal of this study was to expand this field experimentally by investigating the effect o ...
A ergonomic handle that can be added to existing haptic devices, composed by a spherical mechanism providing hand orientation and a grasping mechanism is shown. Both the proposed spherical mechanism and the handle have been ergonomically designed to avoid ...
Handwriting practising, as any other repetitive task, often leads the practiser to an overconcentration state where their performance might be affected by postural and mental fatigue. Short breaks to perform unrelated activities, especially relaxation exer ...
In the context of extra-terrestrial missions, the effects of hypogravity (0 < G < 1) on the human body can reduce the well-being of the crew, cause musculoskeletal problems and affect their ability to perform tasks, especially during long-term missions. To ...
The framework of dynamic movement primitives allows the generation of discrete and periodic trajectories, which can be modulated in various aspects. We propose and evaluate a novel modulation approach that includes force feedback and thus allows physical i ...
This paper addresses the design and optimization of a small-sized linear electrodynamic actuator. This actuator is aimed to be inserted under a computer key in order to produce a force feedback to the user. Replacing the current rubber dome supporting the ...
The manipulation of a virtual object by means of a digital glove is a tedious task for repetitive position and orientation adjustments. We try to overcome the lack of force feedback of general purpose digital gloves. We propose a solution based only on the ...
