Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explores how to enable users to control extra robotic arms (XRAs) without interfering with their natural functions, using a newly developed human-machine interface (HMI) based on gaze detection and breathing cues.
  • The researchers tested this HMI within a virtual reality setup combined with a robotic exoskeleton, finding that it allows independent or coordinated control of the artificial arm without affecting natural speech or vision, with performance improving over time.
  • The results show that both inexperienced and experienced users can effectively operate XRAs using this system, highlighting its potential for practical applications, training, and further development in human motor augmentation.]
