Soft robotic gloves were designed to aid the rehabilitation process with hand pathologies and coordination of gripping exercises. The main issue in soft robotic actuators is to design a control strategy to overcome deformation in grasping exercises. ...
Leukemia is usually diagnosed by viewing the smears of blood and bone marrow using microscopes and complex Cytochemical tests can be used to authorize and classify leukemia. But these methods are costly, slow and affected by the proficiency and exper...
The objective of this work is to relate muscle effort distributions to the trajectory and resistance settings of a robotic exercise and rehabilitation machine. Muscular effort distribution, representing the participation of each muscle in the trainin...
We present an approach for real-time model-free optimization of the orientation of the elliptical trajectory. The performance is evaluated in simulation and experimental stages. Our model-free approach is based on the use of Extremum Seeking Control ...
The standard camera- and force plate-based set-up for motion analysis suffers from the disadvantage of being limited to laboratory settings. Since adaptive algorithms are able to learn the connection between known inputs and outputs and generalise th...
The biological effects of a light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy device are determined by irradiation parameters, mainly wavelength and power density. However, using a battery to provide power causes a problem in the variation of LED power densit...
Balance impairment is critical for many patient groups such as those with neural and musculoskeletal disorders and also the elderly. Accurate and objective assessment of balance performance has led to the development of several indices based on the m...
Tips and falls are the most prominent causes of wheelchair accidents that occur when driving on uneven terrains and less accessible environments. The Mobility Enhancement Robotic Wheelchair (MEBot) was designed to improve the stability of Electric Po...
This note describes the development of a mixed-reality assistive robotic wheel chair simulator for testing of Parkinson's tremor mitigation and operator assistance. It consists of a power chair (PCh), roller dynamometer, head mounted virtual reality ...
Emotional human-computer interaction (HCI) has become an important research area in the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive science, owing to the requirement for active emotion perception. To enhance the performance of electroencephalogra...
