Preliminary Analysis and Simulation of a Compact Variable Stiffness Wrist
Giuseppe Milazzo, Manuel G. Catalano, Antonio Bicchi +1
Variable Stiffness Actuators prove invaluable for robotics applications in unstructured environments, fostering safe interactions and enhancing task adaptability. Nevertheless, the…
A General Control Method for Human-Robot Integration
Maddalena Feder, Giorgio Grioli, Manuel G. Catalano +1
This paper introduces a new generalized control method designed for multi-degrees-of-freedom devices to help people with limited motion capabilities in their daily activities. The…
Design, Characterization, and Validation of a Variable Stiffness Prosthetic Elbow
Giuseppe Milazzo, Simon Lemerle, Giorgio Grioli +2
Intuitively, prostheses with user-controllable stiffness could mimic the intrinsic behavior of the human musculoskeletal system, promoting safe and natural interactions and task ad…
Towards integrated tactile sensorimotor control in anthropomorphic soft robotic hands
Nathan F. Lepora, Andrew Stinchcombe, Chris Ford +5
In this work, we report on the integrated sensorimotor control of the Pisa/IIT SoftHand, an anthropomorphic soft robot hand designed around the principle of adaptive synergies, wit…
