New paper from the @ValeroLab shows that tactile sensors are less important than the order of learning experiences for embodied artificial intelligence.

Exciting news!
In our latest paper published last week on #ScienceAdvances, we showed that for a dexterous manipulation task, it is even more influential than having a more diverse set of sensors.

Arm movements are disrupted by unmodulated stretch reflexes. We propose a spinal cord circuit that could be as good as and complement mechanisms mediated by the brain & cerebellum. This has implications to the emergence and treatment of movement disorders. valerolab.org/Papers/2024_ni…
I am pleased to announce that our work on studying force transmission in the finger extensor mechanism, done with Franck Quaine and Christine Servière from the MOVE team at @GipsaLab and Francisco Valero-Cuevas @ValeroLab, appeared in bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….
"This work has direct implementation in improving health conditions for people with disabilities or medical conditions. And I'm really, really happy about that." #DisabilityPrideMonth#AI WATCH: we-are.usc.edu/2022/12/08/me…
Professor Francisco Valero-Cuevas and Associate Professor Nina Bradley earn 2023 #USC Mentoring Awards for Faculty Mentoring Graduate Students, which recognizes educators who foster engaging, supportive and inclusive academic environments for graduate students.@uscbme@USCViterbi
El profesor Francisco Valero asegura que “esta iniciativa permite darles oportunidades de investigación, capacitación y mentorías a estudiantes de licenciatura, maestría, doctorado o posdoctorado. Así como reclutar a las mejores mentes del mundo”.
Synergy analysis is a standard approach to capture the dominant features of human movement (‘coarse synergies’). Here we demonstrate that the less dominant features (‘fine synergies’) reveal important adaptations and that they reflect differences in motor strategies.
Wonderful first day at the #NSF#DARE2023 conference, capped off by dinner in the historic LA Coliseum & an incredible unexpected drone show! ✨ Excited about the future of computational neurorehab!✨ Thank you @ValeroLab @jamesmfinley @neuroamyo & Kat Steele for organizing!
The NSF #DARE Conference's second pre-conference session is today at 11 AM PST! Kat Steele will be moderating a panel with Francisco Valero-Cuevas, Jen Hicks, & Friedl DeGroote to talk about the role of musculoskeletal modeling and simulation in neurorehabilitation.
