BODIESReg: An Open-Source Pipeline for Registering 3D Body Scans Using Pose-Aligned Initialization
Vikash Chaurasia, Judit Cueto Fernandez, J. Micah Prendergast +1
Biomechanical models are used to quantify and optimize human movement in clinical rehabilitation, sports science, and occupational health. Personalizing these models requires accur…
Fitts' List Revisited: An Empirical Study on Function Allocation in a Two-Agent Physical Human-Robot Collaborative Position/Force Task
Nicky Mol, J. Micah Prendergast, David A. Abbink +1
In this letter, we investigate whether classical function allocation-the principle of assigning tasks to either a human or a machine-holds for physical Human-Robot Collaboration, w…
Achieving Meaningful Collaboration: Worker-centered Design of a Physical Human-Robot Collaborative Blending Task
Nicky Mol, Luka Peternel, Alessandro Ianniello +9
The use of robots in industrial settings continues to grow, driven by the need to address complex societal challenges such as labor shortages, aging populations, and ever-increasin…
Biomechanics-Aware Trajectory Optimization for Online Navigation during Robotic Physiotherapy
Italo Belli, Florian van Melis, J. Micah Prendergast +2
Robotic devices provide a great opportunity to assist in delivering physical therapy and rehabilitation movements, yet current robot-assisted methods struggle to incorporate biomec…
