Embodied-Driven Design for Reconfiguring Body Schema and Mapping

本研究的重点是人体伸展和增强模块的设计。它从体现的角度研究了可穿戴设备和机器人在设计方法中的作用。在拟议研究的前半部分，我们研究了两种类型的可穿戴系统：-我们在远程存在和额外肢体(SRL)系统方面的先前工作的基础上。该系统有助于定义身体形态，并为具体化驱动的设计方法设计了一个框架。-生物模仿可穿戴尾巴使用基于人工肌肉的方法来驱动。这项工作的目标是调查动物驱动的模式在被动增强人体平衡方面的作用。此外，我们还研究了它作为一个不接地的触觉界面的作用，以呈现力量和改变平衡。

This research focused on designing human body extension and augmentation modules. It investigated the role of wearable devices and robotics in the design approach from an embodied perspective. During the first half of the proposed research period, we studied two types of wearable systems:- We build on our previous work in Telexistence and supernumerary limb (SRL) systems. This system helped at defining body modalities, and to design a framework for embodied-driven design approach.- Bio-mimicry wearable tail that uses artificial muscle based approach to actuate. The goal of this work was to investigate the role of animal-driven modalities to augment the human body balance passively. Also, we investigated its role as an ungrounded haptic interface to present forces and alter the balance.
