	18.04.2024 BayFOR Exciting news from the European project IntelliMan! We delve into the core question of how robots can efficiently learn to manipulate in a purposeful and highly performant manner. From mastering individual manipulation skills to understanding abstract task descriptions and even discovering object functionality through interaction, aiming at revolutionizing robotic capabilities. With a focus on persistent learning, IntelliMan leverages AI to perceive its surroundings using a diverse array of sensors, plan and execute tasks, and detect and address failures through interaction with humans and the environment. Furthermore, IntelliMan explores user perceptions and factors enhancing human acceptability of AI-powered manipulation systems.	LinkedIn

	22.03.2024 BayFOR How to reliably enable amputees control their prostheses? They cannot use touchscreens and joysticks, of course, so we need to guess what they want to do. In this paper, we try and guess an amputee’s intention to move by exploiting the most important element in the picture: the user! Stay tuned and follow the #IntelliMan project to know more. https://lnkd.in/ddDSMRur	LinkedIn
	19.03.2024 UNIBO This article presents a result of the IntelliMan Project: a new design for a two-degrees-of-freedom compliant robotic wrist for upper limb prostheses that matches the maximum range of motion of a human wrist by utilizing cross axis flexural pivot (CAFP) as compliant joints. The wrist design is manufactured using additive manufacturing technology as a single, monolithic component. An optimization routine that utilizes the bi-beam constraint model technique to synthesize compliant joints in the wrist design is presented and verified using finite element analysis (FEA). This optimization routine includes the computation of passive contact profiles through the centroid approach to prevent buckling in the CAFP compliant beams caused by external forces.	LinkedIn
