Self-propelled microrobots have recently shown promising results in several scenarios at the microscale, such as targeted drug delivery and micromanipulation of cells. However, none of the steering systems available in the literature enable humans to intuitively and effectively control these microrobots in the remote environment, which is a desirable feature. In this paper we present an innovative...
The following topics are dealt with: system theory; sensors, actuators, and systems integration; power electronics; robotics; signal and image processing; haptics; energy systems; and smart grid and renewable energies.
A haptic system for hand rehabilitation is presented that combines robotics and interactive virtual reality to facilitate repetitive performance of task specific exercises for patients recovering from neurological motor deficits. A two degree of freedom robotic interface allows coordinated motions of the forearm and the hand (pronation/supination and grasp/release, respectively). It is driven by two...
