Physical human-robot collaboration is becoming more common, both in industrial and
service robotics. Cooperative execution of a task requires intuitive and efficient interaction …

Despite recent advances in robot-assisted training, the benefits of haptic guidance on motor
(re) learning are still limited. While haptic guidance may increase task performance during …

Neurorehabilitation research suggests that not only high training intensity, but also
somatosensory information plays a fundamental role in the recovery of stroke patients. Yet …

Humans dexterously interact with a variety of objects, including those with complex internal
dynamics. Even in the simple action of carrying a cup of coffee, the hand not only applies a …

Manipulation of complex objects and tools is a hallmark of many activities of daily living, but
how the human neuromotor control system interacts with such objects is not well …

Manipulation of complex objects as in tool use is ubiquitous and has given humans an
evolutionary advantage. This study examined the strategies humans choose when …

Background Although common during the early stages of recovery from severe traumatic
brain injury (TBI), attention deficits have been scarcely investigated. Encouraging evidence …

This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel progressive haptic guidance
scheme and a similar visual guidance scheme for acquisition of a dynamic motor skill. The …

Virtual reality with haptic feedback provides a safe and versatile practice medium for many
manual control tasks. Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance of manual …
