Flexo-glove: A 3D Printed Soft Exoskeleton Robotic Glove for Impaired Hand Rehabilitation and Assistance.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a compact and streamlined design of a soft exoskeleton glove for assistance in activities of daily livings and also rehabilitation purposes of patients with hand function impairment. Most of the existing hand exoskeletons have foc...

Convolutional Neural Network for Target Face Detection using Single-trial EEG Signal.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Face recognition plays an import role in our daily lives. However, computer face recognition performance degrades dramatically with the presence of variations in illumination, head pose and occlusion. In contrast, the human brain can recognize target...

Improving EEG-Based Motor Imagery Classification via Spatial and Temporal Recurrent Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Motor imagery (MI) based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is an important active BCI paradigm for recognizing movement intention of severely disabled persons. There are extensive studies about MI-based intention recognition, most of which heavily rely ...

A force augmenting exoskeleton for the human hand designed for pinching and grasping.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Almost 1 million Americans suffer from debilitative disorders or injuries to the hand, which result in decreased grip strength and/or impaired ability to hold objects. The objective of this study was to design and test the functioning of a fivedigit ...

A Soft Wearable Robotic Suit for Ankle and Hip Assistance: a Preliminary Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
As a walking assistive device, one of major goals should be reduce wearer's metabolic cost as much as possible. Toward this goal, this paper presents the preliminary study on a new soft wearable robotic suit for ankle and hip assistance for daily lif...

Surgical Robot with Environment Reconstruction and Force Feedback.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We present a new surgical robot hardware-in-the-loop simulator, with 3D surgical field reconstruction in RGB-D sensor range, which allows tool-tissue interactions to be presented as haptic feedback and thus provides the situation awareness of unwante...

Assessing the Role of Teleoperated Robotic Systems in Biomanipulations - A Case Study on Blastocyst Microinjection.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Blastocyst microinjections, like many other biomanipulation tasks, involve delicate and precise manual control of micropipettes under a microscope. The operations are carried out by highly trained operators who spend hours peering through the binocul...

Assessment of Robot Interventions in a Task-based Rehabilitation: a case study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study is aimed at assessing of a robot intervention in a task-based upper-arm rehabilitation procedure. Robotic devices have significantly been useful to help therapists do the training procedure. However, due to the lack of quantifiable feedbac...

Impedance Model of the Interaction Between Environment and Human Body and Its Modification Design.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a model of environment-human body interaction, which is critical for us to perform balanced motions such as locomotion and activities of daily living while standing. Specifically, movement smoothness and stiffness are quantitative...

SATR-DL: Improving Surgical Skill Assessment And Task Recognition In Robot-Assisted Surgery With Deep Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
PURPOSE: This paper focuses on an automated analysis of surgical motion profiles for objective skill assessment and task recognition in robot-assisted surgery. Existing techniques heavily rely on conventional statistic measures or shallow modelings b...
