Combination design of drive mechanism considering delay of surgical robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Surgical robots have contributed greatly to the development of minimally invasive surgery. However, these robots suffer from issues such as the looseness of wires acting as the robot's drive mechanism, and high maintenance cost. The objective of this...

Error-related Potentials in a Virtual Pick-and-Place Experiment: Toward Real-world Shared-control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In Human-Robot Collaboration setting a robot may be controlled by a user directly or through a Brain-Computer Interface that detects user intention, and it may act as an autonomous agent. As such interaction increases in complexity, conflicts become ...

Deep Depression Detection with Resting-State and Cognitive-Task EEG.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Depression is a common mental disorder that negatively affects physical health and personal, social and occupational functioning. Currently, accurate and objective diagnosis of depression remains challenging, and electroencephalography (EEG) provides...

A Completely Portable and Concealable, Lightweight Assistive Exosuit for Upper Limbs.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Exosuits are a relatively new trend in wearable robotics to answer the flaws of their exoskeleton counterparts, but they remain impractical as the lack of rigidity in their frames makes the integration of crucial components into a single unit a chall...

The long-acting walking control of a cockroach bio-bot for vision-aided pipeline navigation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many small bionic crawling robots have been invented for search and rescue missions in narrow spaces. However, their locomotion capability is far from that of insects of the same size. Transforming a cockroach into a bio-bot has been a hot topic in t...

A deep learning approach for automation in neurite tracing and cell size estimation from differential contrast images under healthy and hypoxic condition.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Chronic hypoxia is known to be a major cause of neurite length retraction followed be degeneration. Specifically, laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) based-contrast imaging is used for monitoring neuronal morphology under hypoxic condition. Alt...

Identification of Sleep Patterns via Clustering of Hypnodensities.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sleep patterns vary widely between individuals. We explore methods for identifying populations exhibiting similar sleep patterns in an automated fashion using polysomnography data. Our novel approach applies unsupervised machine learning algorithms t...

Deep Learning based Skin-layer Segmentation for Characterizing Cutaneous Wounds from Optical Coherence Tomography Images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a medical imaging modality that allows us to probe deeper sub-structures of skin. The state-of-the-art wound care prediction and monitoring methods are based on visual evaluation and focus on surface information....

Design and Evaluation of a Puncture Control Method for the Deflection of Ultrafine Needles due to Interfacial Passage-Proposal of Puncture Control Strategy for Increasing.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
With the demand for sophisticated techniques to easily prevent the deflection of needles, robotic CT (computed tomography)-guided puncture with an ultrafine needle is being investigated. Quantification of deflection is essential for accurate puncture...

Analysis of Motor Control and Learning in Human-Robot Interaction during Game Guided Movements.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic devices can be used in upper limb rehabilitation in order to help the total or partial functional recovery. Robots can perform repetitive activities for a long period of time, which may be beneficial for rehabilitation processes. In this cont...
