Modeling the Sit-to-Stand Transition using Koopman Lifting Linearization and Human State Estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)The Sit-to-Stand (STS) transition is one of the most dangerous daily activities for the elderly population, as it is one of the situations in which falls occur most often. Despite its risks, STS dynamics remain poorly ... -
Quantifying Human Balance Performance and Control to Inform Therapy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Maintaining balance is essential for daily activities and overall health. However, balance capability often declines with age or due to health conditions such as stroke, increasing fall risk. Falls among older adults are ... -
Deformable Object Manipulation with a Tactile Reactive Gripper
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Manipulating deformable objects remains a fundamental challenge in robotics, as techniques developed for rigid objects often fail to generalize. Deformable objects exhibit infinite-dimensional configuration spaces, frequent ...
