Miniaturisation will be the key challenge for the next decade in numerous industrial fields, such as microelectronics, optics and biomedical engineering. Although most of their products already achieve footprints of some square millimeters, the trend towar ...
Over the past decades, a large number of robotic platforms have been developed which provide rehabilitative treatments aimed at recovering walking abilities in post-stroke patients. Unfortunately, they do not significantly influence patients' performance a ...

In this article, we propose a new method for providing assistance during cyclical movements. This method is trajectory-free, in the sense that it provides user assistance irrespective of the performed movement, and requires no other sensing than the assist ...
This paper proposes a novel strategy for grasping 3D unknown objects in accordance with their corresponding task. We define the handle or the natural grasping component of an object as the part chosen by humans to pick up this object. When humans reach out ...
The machine tool industry is a well established, old and extremely important branch of today's manufacturing industry. With the ongoing globalization and the resulting increase of competition in this industry, the manufacturers have to push their technolog ...
A new rehabilitation and fitness robot called the “Lambda Robot” is presented. This paper introduces a concept of a parallel robot that may be used for mobilization of the lower extremities. Hence, it may be used for fitness as well as for rehabilitation f ...
Vision is a very rich sensor with a proven critical role in the control of balance. However, it is widely under- used for robotics postural control. This paper presents and compares two approaches, one model-based and one model-free, to ensure stability of ...
Production in a controlled environment is becoming an increasingly important issue in various branches of industry. In the food, pharmaceutical, optical and semiconductor industries, today’s mass production would not be possible without so-called “cleanroo ...
This paper addresses the recognition of people’s visual focus of attention (VFOA), the discrete version of gaze indicating who is looking at whom or what. In absence of high def- inition images, we rely on people’s head pose to recognize the VFOA. To the c ...
Most recent findings in robot-assisted therapy suggest that the therapy is more successful if the patient actively participates to the movement (“assistance-as-needed”). In the present contribution, we propose a novel approach for designing highly flexible ...
