Robot-assisted training to improve proprioception does benefit from added vibro-tactile feedback.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Proprioception is central for motor control and its role must also be taken into account when designing motor rehabilitation training protocols. This is particularly important when dealing with motor deficits due to proprioceptive impairment such as ...

Swarm intelligence applied to the risk evaluation for congenital heart surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Particle Swarm Optimization is an optimization technique based on the positions of several particles created to find the best solution to a problem. In this work we analyze the accuracy of a modification of this algorithm to classify the levels of ri...

Implementation of machine learning for classifying prosthesis type through conventional gait analysis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Current forecasts imply a significant increase in the quantity of lower limb amputations. Synergizing the capabilities of a conventional gait analysis system and machine learning facilitates the capacity to classify disparate types of transtibial pro...

Hand-eye calibration of a robot--UltraSound probe system without any 3D localizers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
3D UltraSound (US) probes are used in clinical applications for their ease of use and ability to obtain intra-operative volumes. In surgical navigation applications a calibration step is needed to localize the probe in a general coordinate system. Th...

Visual and somatic sensory feedback of brain activity for intuitive surgical robot manipulation.

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 method to evaluate the hand-eye coordination of the master-slave surgical robot by measuring the activation of the intraparietal sulcus in users brain activity during controlling virtual manipulation. The objective is to examine...

Force-feedback sensory substitution using supervised recurrent learning for robotic-assisted surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The lack of force feedback is considered one of the major limitations in Robot Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgeries. Since add-on sensors are not a practical solution for clinical environments, in this paper we present a force estimation approach th...
