Background Despite the technological advancements in myoelectric prostheses, body-
powered prostheses remain a popular choice for amputees, in part due to the natural …

Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally
located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held …

The lack of haptically aware upper-limb prostheses forces amputees to rely largely on visual
cues to complete activities of daily living. In contrast, non-amputees inherently rely on …

The utility of telerobotic systems is driven in large part by the quality of feedback they provide
to the operator. While the dynamic interaction between a robot and the environment can …

Humans possess an innate ability to incorporate tools into our body schema to perform a
myriad of tasks not possible with our natural limbs. Human-in-the-loop telerobotic systems …

Human-in-the-loop telerobotic systems (HiLTS) are robotic tools designed to extend and in
some circumstances improve the dexterous capabilities of the human operator in virtual and …

While many factors shape the preferential use of our hands, there is growing evidence that
each hand may also perceive the environment differently. Currently, this has been …

Abstract Human-in-the-Loop Telerobotic Systems (HiLTS) allow us to overcome the
constraints of distance, speed, scale, and safety, when our natural limbs alone are …

In this paper, an experimental testbed and associated psychophysical paradigm are
presented for understanding how people discriminate torsional stiffness using wrist rotation …

There has been a considerable effort to provide sensory feedback for myoelectric
prostheses. Among the solutions provided in the literature, sensory substitution is an easy …
