Avatarm: an Avatar With Manipulation Capabilities for the Physical Metaverse
Alberto Villani, Giovanni Cortigiani, Bernardo Brogi +3
Metaverse is an immersive shared space that remote users can access through virtual and augmented reality interfaces, enabling their avatars to interact with each other and the sur…
Learning Skills from Demonstrations: A Trend from Motion Primitives to Experience Abstraction
Mehrdad Tavassoli, Sunny Katyara, Maria Pozzi +3
The uses of robots are changing from static environments in factories to encompass novel concepts such as Human-Robot Collaboration in unstructured settings. Pre-programming all th…
Enhancing human bodies with extra robotic arms and fingers: The Neural Resource Allocation Problem
Giulia Dominijanni, Solaiman Shokur, Gionata Salvietti +8
The emergence of robot-based body augmentation promises exciting innovations that will inform robotics, human-machine interaction, and wearable electronics. Even though augmentativ…
Exploiting Intrinsic Kinematic Null Space for Supernumerary Robotic Limbs Control
Tommaso Lisini Baldi, Nicole D'Aurizio, Sergio Gurgone +3
Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) gained increasing interest in the last years for their applicability as healthcare and assistive technologies. These devices can either support o…
Wearable Haptics for Remote Social Walking
Tommaso Lisini Baldi, Gianluca Paolocci, Davide Barcelli +1
Walking is an essential activity for a healthy life, which becomes less tiring and more enjoyable if done together. Common difficulties we have in performing sufficient physical ex…
Upper Body Pose Estimation Using Wearable Inertial Sensors and Multiplicative Kalman Filter
Tommaso Lisini Baldi, Francesco Farina, Andrea Garulli +2
Estimating the limbs pose in a wearable way may benefit multiple areas such as rehabilitation, teleoperation, human-robot interaction, gaming, and many more. Several solutions are…
Quasi-static Analysis of Planar Sliding Using Friction Patches
M. Mahdi Ghazaei Ardakani, Joao Bimbo, Domenico Prattichizzo
Planar sliding of objects is modeled and analyzed. The model can be used for non-prehensile manipulation of objects lying on a surface. We study possible motions generated by frict…
Follow, listen, feel and go: alternative guidance systems for a walking assistance device
Federico Moro, Daniele Fontanelli, Roberto Passerone +6
In this paper, we propose several solutions to guide an older adult along a safe path using a robotic walking assistant (the c-Walker). We consider four different possibilities to…
Cutaneous Force Feedback as a Sensory Subtraction Technique in Haptics
Domenico Prattichizzo, Claudio Pacchierotti, Giulio Rosati
A novel sensory substitution technique is presented. Kinesthetic and cutaneous force feedback are substituted by cutaneous feedback (CF) only, provided by two wearable devices able…
Visibility maintenance via controlled invariance for leader-follower Dubins-like vehicles
Fabio Morbidi, Francesco Bullo, Domenico Prattichizzo
The paper studies the visibility maintenance problem (VMP) for a leader-follower pair of Dubins-like vehicles with input constraints, and proposes an original solution based on the…
