The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Optimizing autonomous system control with brain-like hierarchical control systems. Autonomous robotic systems, those requiring minimal ongoing supervision, have enormous commercial, medical and industry potential. A robotic hand, permitting manipulation of material objects is an integral part of robot function. Many aspects of human hand control, such as learning, fine motor control, context-specific adaptation and recovery from system damage would be greatly beneficial to a robotic hand.

Autonomous robotic systems, those requiring minimal ongoing supervision, have enormous commercial, medical and industry potential. A robotic hand, permitting manipulation of material objects is an integral part of robot function. Many aspects of human hand control, such as learning, fine motor control, context-specific adaptation and recovery from system damage would be greatly beneficial to a robotic hand. Likewise, theories of human hand control could be subject to empirical testing by implementing them in a robotic hand. These advances will greatly benefit our understanding of the human brain, with potentially wide-ranging medical benefits such as novel prosthetic limb design and rehabilitation strategies for stroke patients.Read moreRead less
