FAU MoD Lecture: Moving your robotic hand is a matter of time and practice

Date: Mon. November 23, 2026
Event: FAU MoD Lecture
Organized by: FAU MoD, the Research Center for Mathematics of Data at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany)

FAU MoD Lecture: Moving your robotic hand is a matter of time and practice
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Claudio Castellini
Affiliation: The Assistive Intelligent Robotics Laboratory. FAU, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany)

Abstract. Assistive devices cannot yet be controlled reliably and dexterously, because control signal produced by the user are hard to model. In this talk I argue that the solution lies not in the machine learning method, but in the quality of the data used to build the model; and that the user, our primary source of data, must be involved in a structured way. Incremental learning is my method of choice.

AUDIENCE
