Human-Aware Robotics: Modeling Human Motor Skills for the Design, Planning and Control of a New Generation of Robotic Devices

This book moves from a thorough investigation of human capabilities  during movements and interactions with objects and environment and  translates those principles into the design planning and control of  innovative mechatronic systems, providing significant advancements in  the fields of human–robot interaction, autonomous robots, prosthetics  and assistive devices. The work presented in this monograph is  characterized by a significant paradigmatic shift with respect to  typical approaches, as it always place the human at the center of the  technology developed, and the human represents the starting point and  the actual beneficiary of the developed solutions
The content of  this book is targeted to robotics and neuroscience enthusiasts,  researchers and makers, students and simple lovers of the matter.
