Synthesis, Design, and Experimental Validation of an Agile Wrist for Enhanced Grasping and Manipulation in Cluttered Environments: An Experimental Evaluation With a Challenging Pick-and-Place Task

by

In many practical cases, such as in logistics applications, grasping and manipulation of objects must be carried out in confined spaces with obstacles. Limited room is then available to manoeuvre and robotic devices can lack dexterity or be impaired by their size when performing in such cluttered environments. In this paper, we address this issue by proposing a novel agile … [Read more...] about Synthesis, Design, and Experimental Validation of an Agile Wrist for Enhanced Grasping and Manipulation in Cluttered Environments: An Experimental Evaluation With a Challenging Pick-and-Place Task

ArmAssist: A Telerehabilitation Solution for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation at Home

by

ArmAssist (AA), developed by TECNALIA, is a telerehabilitation platform aiming to help poststroke subjects maintain the rehabilitation of the upper limb at home. AA includes robotic modules with multiple sensors to train and measure the users’ voluntary movements. An assessment platform based on serious games is also included to not only engage the user but also perform … [Read more...] about ArmAssist: A Telerehabilitation Solution for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation at Home
