Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

Proprioceptive drift in the rubber hand illusion predicts action reproduction accuracy

Abstract The neural representation of the body is highly flexible and can be altered by integrating multisensory signals in the brain. The rubber hand illusion (RHI) is a widely used paradigm to investigate this phenomenon; participants experience ownership of a rubber hand and perceive their real hand as shifting toward the rubber hand’

Dissociation of agency and body ownership following visuomotor temporal recalibration

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2015
Bodily self-consciousness consists of one’s sense of agency (I am causing an action) and body ownership (my body belongs to me). Both stem from the temporal congruence between different modalities, although some visuomotor temporal incongruence is ...

Reinforcement Learning With a Low‐Cost Parallel Linkage Gripper for Static and Dynamic Planar In‐Hand Manipulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Hardware‐learning co‐design combines volar‐plate‐inspired passive‐joint constraints with mechanism‐aware reinforcement learning for a low‐cost parallel‐linkage gripper. The resulting system performs quasi‐static object adjustment and dynamic pinch grasping, demonstrating reliable planar in‐hand manipulation and successful sim‐to‐real transfer. Parallel

Dual‐View Representation Learning for Deployable Humanoid Whole‐Body Control

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Humanoid robots must learn control from limited onboard sensing, although simulation provides richer training‐only states. DVP learning pairs these views of each simulated motion and aligns their latent control features inside the policy‐learning loop. This direct, deployment‐aware supervision accelerates learning while the deployed policy relies only ...

From Instruction to Inheritance: Scaling Robot Learning Through Knowledge Circulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robot learning moves from one‐way instruction toward knowledge circulation. Humans teach robots, robots teach one another, and robots share acquired skills with humans. This perspective connects teaching, embodiment, and learning architectures to explore how knowledge is inherited, adapted, and enriched across agents, opening a path toward scalable ...

Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...

Can visual stimulus induce proprioceptive drift in the upper arm using virtual reality? [PDF]

, 2016
Sustained isometric contractions (SIC), such as holding an arm stationary in a space, are often used in upper limb rehabilitation exercises, particularly where it is important to protect the joints and tendons or to reduce patient fatigue. However, visual cues within a virtual environment may have an unanticipated effect on the ability to maintain SIC.

Minimal virtual reality‐induced symptoms and effects in anatomy education across controller types

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract With the increasing adoption of virtual reality (VR) in anatomy education, understanding VR‐induced symptoms and effects (VRISE) is pivotal to effective curriculum design. To compare self‐reported VRISE across different VR controller types, the study included 199 responses from students aged 18–54, enrolled in visceral anatomy or neuroanatomy ...
