We describe a new theoretical framework for robot-aided training of arm movements. This framework is based on recent studies of motor adaptation in human subjects and on general c...
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
