Research

During his undergraduate education, Quentin conducted a human subject study characterizing the interaction modalities humans use to correct a robot when it undergoes an erroneous trajectory.

In graduate school, Quentin is developing a virtual prosthetic hand controlled by surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals, allowing users to receive haptic feedback through a tactor while performing tasks in a virtual environment.
