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…
Characterization, Experimental Validation and Pilot User Study of the Vibro-Inertial Bionic Enhancement System (VIBES)
Alessia S. Ivani, Federica Barontini, Manuel G. Catalano +3
This study presents the characterization and validation of the VIBES, a wearable vibrotactile device that provides high-frequency tactile information embedded in a prosthetic socke…
Tactile Perception in Upper Limb Prostheses: Mechanical Characterization, Human Experiments, and Computational Findings
Alessia Silvia Ivani, Manuel G. Catalano, Giorgio Grioli +3
Our research investigates vibrotactile perception in four prosthetic hands with distinct kinematics and mechanical characteristics. We found that rigid and simple socket-based pros…
Investigating the Performance of Soft Robotic Adaptive Feet with Longitudinal and Transverse Arches
Anna Pace, Giorgio Grioli, Alice Ghezzi +2
Biped robots usually adopt feet with a rigid structure that simplifies walking on flat grounds and yet hinders ground adaptation in unstructured environments, thus jeopardizing sta…
Analytical Model and Experimental Testing of the SoftFoot: an Adaptive Robot Foot for Walking over Obstacles and Irregular Terrains
Cristina Piazza, Cosimo Della Santina, Giorgio Grioli +2
Robot feet are crucial for maintaining dynamic stability and propelling the body during walking, especially on uneven terrains. Traditionally, robot feet were mostly designed as fl…
