During my PhD, I developed The Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRL) – a wearable robot which provides a human user with two additional robotic limbs. The SRL assists wearers while executing complex tasks, compensates for their weight while working in uncomfortable positions, and augments their balance during walking. This robot has a wide range of medical and industrial applications, including the aircraft manufacturing industry, construction sites, elderly assistance and gait rehabilitation.

In my research at the Sensory Motor System Laboratory (SMS), I developed a new integrated concept of sensing and actuation, called Series Viscoelastic Actuator. I then applied this invention to the realization of a high-precision haptic device, which is targeted at perception experiments that require sensing and rendering of forces in the range of the human tactile threshold.

Independent, voluntary control of extra robotic limbs.
2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
See publicationWe present a wearable robot prototype that can achieve these goals with an extremely light weight apparatus. In order to control additional robotic limbs as if they were part of the user's body, we need voluntary signals that are independent of natural limb motions and comfortable to measure. One suitable solution - explored in this study - is the use of muscle activation signals generated by the torso.
