Thesis title

Body-machine interface and feedback for supernumerary limbs

Research overview

One of the challenges in wearable robotics is that it is difficult for a human user tomanipulate a robot as smoothly as moving their own limbs. One reason for this is the similarfeedback. When we use our hands to hold an object, we can sense the temperature, thetexture, and the hardness of the object. But the same does not apply when controlling a robotarm to hold an object. My research is to develop an interface between human and machine,providing the human user with feedback similar to if they were using their limbs.
