Non-singular fixed-time sliding mode control for unknown-dynamics manipulators interacting with environment (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, a robust fixed-time controller is de-signed for manipulators with unknown dynamics while interacting with environment. To realize compliance of the manipulator to the environment, an admittance model is adopted in the system. In the co...

Fixed-time adaptive neural control for robot manipulators with input saturation and disturbance (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A fixed-time adaptive neural network control scheme is designed for an unknown model manipulator system with input saturation and external environment disturbance, so that the system convergence time can be parameterized and not affected by the initi...

Optical fiber angle sensors for the PrHand prosthesis: Development and application in grasp types recognition with machine learning (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work presents the instrumentation of the PrHand upper-limb prosthesis with optical fiber sensors to measure the angle of the proximal interphalangeal joint. The angle sensors are based on bending-induced loss and are fabricated with polymer opti...

Mirror-based robotic therapy for ankle recovery with a serious game: A case study with a neurological patient (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Neuromuscular disorders, such as foot drop, severely affect the locomotor function and walking independence after a brain injury event. Mirror-based robotic therapy (MRT) has been a promising rehabilitation strategy favouring upper limb muscle streng...

Three study cases of social robotics in autism spectrum disorder treatment: Personalization and usability of CASTOR robot (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Social assistive robotics in autism has been implemented in studies and therapies to improve social skills and encourage children to comply with therapies. However, autism symptoms vary in their spectrum, which generates difficulties in implementing...

Correct for the wrong reason: Why we should know more about mathematical common student errors in e-assessment questions (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Students may arrive at an incorrect answer when answering a mathematical question due to several reasons, such as random errors, calculation errors or misreading the question. Such errors are sometimes referred to as Common Student Errors (CSEs). Se...
