Humans are able to learn tool-handling tasks, such as carving, demonstrating their competency to make and vary the direction of movements in unstable environments. It has been shown that when a single reaching movement is repeated in unstable dynamics, the central nervous system (CNS) learns an impedance internal model to compensate for the environment instability. However, there is still no explanation for how humans can learn to move in various directions in such environments. In this study, we investigated whether and how humans compensate for instability while learning two different reaching movements simultaneously. Results show that when performing movements in two different directions, separated by a 35 degrees angle, the CNS was able to compensate for the unstable dynamics. After adaptation, the force was found to be similar to the free movement condition, but stiffness increased in the direction of instability, specifically for each direction of movement. Our findings suggest that the CNS either learned an internal model generalizing over different movements, or alternatively that it was able to switch between specific models acquired simultaneously.

Background. When learning to perform a novel sensorimotor task, humans integrate multi-modal sensory feedback such asvision and proprioception in order to make the appropriate adjustments to successfully complete the task. Sensory feedback isused both during movement to control and correct the current movement, and to update the feed-forward motor commandfor subsequent movements. Previous work has shown that adaptation to stable dynamics is possible without visual feedback.However, it is not clear to what degree visual information during movement contributes to this learning or whether it isessential to the development of an internal model or impedance controller. Methodology/Principle Findings. We examinedthe effects of the removal of visual feedback during movement on the learning of both stable and unstable dynamics incomparison with the case when both vision and proprioception are available. Subjects were able to learn to make smoothmovements in both types of novel dynamics after learning with or without visual feedback. By examining the endpointstiffness and force after learning it could be shown that subjects adapted to both types of dynamics in the same way whetherthey were provided with visual feedback of their trajectory or not. The main effects of visual feedback were to increase thesuccess rate of movements, slightly straighten the path, and significantly reduce variability near the end of the movement.Conclusions/Significance. These findings suggest that visual feedback of the hand during movement is not necessary for theadaptation to either stable or unstable novel dynamics. Instead vision appears to be used to fine-tune corrections of handtrajectory at the end of reaching movements.

This paper presents an analysis of a newly developed Elastic Path Controller (EPC) that can be used in assistive devices with human operators. The technique of robust control is also utilized to determine the parameters of the EPC in order to ensure that the EPC can tolerate possible uncertainties or disturbances in the environment. The new EPC is applied to a robotic wheelchair and tested in simulation. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the EPC. ©2007 IEEE.

This paper presents a novel type of Elastic Path Controller (EPC) to control and manipulate the assistive devices such as the Collaborative Wheelchair Assistant (CWA). Compared to previous controllers such as Samson's and Brent's controller, the proposed EPC is safer and more maneuverable. This paper also proposes the handling of singularity and solutions to backward motion problems of the EPC. Simulation experiments show that the new EPC can fulfill the tasks of path following, obstacle avoiding, singularity handling, backward motion, and so on. © 2007 IEEE.

Lambercy O, Dovat L, Gassert R, Burdet E, Teo CL, Milner Tet al., 2007, A haptic knob for rehabilitation of hand function, Pages: 356-366, ISSN: 1534-4320

This paper describes a novel two-degree-of-freedom robotic interface to train opening/closing of the hand and knob manipulation. The mechanical design, based on two parallelogram structures holding an exchangeable button, offers the possibility to adapt the interface to various hand sizes and finger orientations, as well as to right-handed or left-handed subjects. The interaction with the subject is measured by means of position encoders and four force sensors located close to the output measuring grasping and insertion forces. Various knobs can be mounted on the interface, including a cone mechanism to train a complete opening movement from a strongly contracted and closed hand to a large opened position. We describe the design based on measured biomechanics, the redundant safety mechanisms as well as the actuation and control architecture. Preliminary experiments show the performance of this interface and some of the possibilities it offers for the rehabilitation of hand function. © 2007 IEEE.

Ludovic Dovat, Olivier Lambercy, Vineet Johnson, Berna Salman, Stephen Wong, Roger Gassert, Etienne Burdetet al., 2007, A cable driven robotic system to train finger function after stroke, IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), Publisher: IEEE

This paper presents a novel robotic interface to train intrinsic finger movements. The mechanical design, base on a cable system interacting with the fingers, offers the possibility of adapting the interface to accommodate various hand sizes and finger orientation. A main feature of the device is a clutch system, which consists of five clutches, one for each finger, that can be switched to three different modes: ( rest mode: the fingers are mechanically maintained at a fixed position, (ii) passive (from the view of the interface) mode: the finger is free to move along the path defined by the cable, and (iii) active mode: the force generated by the motor is applied to the finger.) With this mechanism, it is possible to train hand muscle function using only one actuator. The interaction wit the subject is measured by means of a position encoder an five force sensors located close to the output. We describe the human-oriented design of our underactuated robotic interface based on measured biomechanics. We detail the redundant safety mechanisms, the actuation, sensing and control system and report the performance and preliminary results obtained with this interface.
