Toward open-ended evolutionary robotics: evolving elementary robotic units able to self-assemble and self-reproduce
In this paper we discuss the limitations of current evolutionary robotics models and we propose a new framework that might solve some of these problems and lead to an open-ended e...

Evolutionary motion design for humanoid robots
We propose a new approach to generating the motion of humanoid robots intuitively by means of Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC). In our system, novice users are able to d...

Estimating arm motion and force using EMG signals: On the control of exoskeletons
— There is a great effort during the last decades towards building robotic devices that are worn by humans. These devices, called exoskeletons, are used mainly for support and re...

Tremor attenuation using FES-based joint stiffness control
In this paper, a strategy to attenuate tremor based on co-contraction of antagonist muscles using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is fully presented. Both methods to track ...
