Page 3: Research news on Embodied robotic manipulation

Embodied robotic manipulation investigates robotic and prosthetic limbs that physically interact with the environment using human-like, adaptive control. Work in this area integrates soft robotic structures, tendon-driven and biohybrid actuators, and exoskeletons with rich multimodal sensing, including vision, tactile, and proprioceptive feedback. Machine learning methods such as imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and meta-learning are used to acquire dexterous skills, enable shared and autonomous control, and support intuitive human–robot interaction through haptic interfaces, brain–computer interfaces, and teleoperation systems.

A mathematical framework for optimizing robotic joints

Consider the marvelous physics of the human knee. The largest hinge joint in the body, it has two rounded bones held together by ligaments that not only swing like a door, but also roll and glide over each other, allowing ...
