From bio-inspired locomotion models To controllers for lower-limb exoskeletons

Human locomotion shows fascinating abilities which are the results of the interplay between the environment, the biomechanics, the spinal cord, and modulation from higher control centers. How the different structures interact to generate meaningful behavio ...

Shared human–robot proportional control of a dexterous myoelectric prosthesis

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Vincent Alexandre Mendez, Fiorenzo Artoni, Francesco Maria Petrini, Nicolas Sommer, Emanuele Formento, Saurav Aryan

Myoelectric prostheses allow users to recover lost functionality by controlling a robotic device with their remaining muscle activity. Such commercial devices can give users a high level of autonomy, but still do not approach the dexterity of the intact hu ...

Stabilization of electrodynamic bearings with active magnetic dampers

Qingwen Cui

Electrodynamic Bearings (EDBs) are a kind of passive magnetic bearings that exploits the interaction between the induced eddy currents in a conductor and a magnetic field to provide re-storing forces. They have been regarded as an appealing alternative to ...

Activating the motor system through action observation: is this an efficient approach in adults and children?

Michela Bassolino

Observing an action performed by another person to learn a new movement is a frequent experience in adult daily life, such as in sports. However, it is an especially common circumstance during the development of motor skills in childhood. Studies on health ...

Load Balance Control for a Humanoid Musculoskeletal Arm in Table Tennis Movement

Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

The aim of this paper is to propose a muscle control method for a humanoid musculoskeletal arm that mimics human muscle coordination from an engineering viewpoint. As muscle control is posed as a redundancy problem, the resulting muscle force corresponds t ...

Decoding bipedal locomotion from the rat sensorimotor cortex

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand, Jacopo Rigosa, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler

Objective. Decoding forelimb movements from the firing activity of cortical neurons has been interfaced with robotic and prosthetic systems to replace lost upper limb functions in humans. Despite the potential of this approach to improve locomotion and fac ...

A Robotic System for Quantitative Assessment and Poststroke Training of Forelimb Retraction in Mice

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai, Marco Mainardi

Background. Neurorehabilitation protocols based on the use of robotic devices have recently shown to provide promising clinical results. However, their efficacy is still limited because of the poor comprehension of the mechanisms at the basis of functional ...
