A device and method for human intention detection Sensor Band (HID). In preferred embodiments, it makes use of an array of force sensing resistors (FSRs) which are embedded inside a flexible band, which is capable of reading the muscle activity for different motion type and muscle forcein a human user. In one implementation of the invention two of such bands are attached to the forearm and the upper arm. From the readings of the sensors, the patterns for motion type and muscle force are then distinguished autonomously by machine learning, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, or a neural network. The method is advantageous e.g. the detection of dexterous motion of the arms, upon which assistive exoskeleton can be controlled for motion assistance. The invention can also be applicable to hand gestures recognition and bilateral rehabilitation, besides this the invention can be used to control lower body exoskeleton as well.

A robotic manipulator system includes a first robotic manipulator and a second robotic manipulator configured to grasp an object. The first robotic manipulator grasps the object a first time and moves the object to the second robotic manipulator. The second robotic manipulator then grasps the object and the first robotic manipulator readjusts its position relative to the object before grasping the object a second time. One or both of the robotic manipulators then move the object a new location before releasing the object at the new location.
