iRebot: An Interactive Rehabilitation Robot with Gesture Control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Physical therapy efficacy relies on patient compliance and motivation. However, the monotony, intensity, and expense of most therapy routines do not promote engagement. Technology-based rehabilitation has the potential to provide engaging and cost-ef...

A Comparison of Manual and Robot Assisted Retinal Vein Cannulation in Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a vision threatening condition occurring in the central or the branch retinal veins. Risk factors include but are not limited to hypercoagulability, thrombus or other cause of low blood flow. Current clinically proven ...

Planning Framework for Robot-assisted Blood-Brain Barrier Opening with Focused Ultrasound.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This article presents a method to plan BloodBrain Barrier (BBB) disruption with Focused Ultrasound, under neuronavigated robotic assistance. Robotic and acoustic constraints are defined to estimate brain target accessibility. The relevance of the pro...

Practical Machine Learning-Based Sepsis Prediction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sepsis is a life-threatening clinical syndrome and one of the most expensive conditions treated in hospitals. It is challenging to detect due to the nonspecific clinical signs and the absence of gold standard diagnostics. However, early recognition o...

Characterizing Limits of Vision-Based Force Feedback in Simulated Surgical Tool-Tissue Interaction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Haptic feedback can render real-time force interactions with computer simulated objects. In several telerobotic applications, it is desired that a haptic simulation reflects a physical task space or interaction accurately. This is particularly true w...

Palpation-Based Multi-Tumor Detection Method Considering Moving Distance for Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A novel palpation-based tumor detection method for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) is proposed in this paper. A tactile stiffness sensor based on piezoelectric vibration is designed to detect tissue stiffness just by gentle contactin...

Movement strategy and EMG activities of the upper extremity at assisted reaching exercise with a 7 DOF collaborative robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Recovering of upper extremity functions is important for stroke patients to perform various tasks in daily life. For better rehabilitation outcomes and accurate measurement, robot assisted exercises have been developed. However, there are limited num...

Subject-specific, Impairment-based Robotic Training of Functional Upper Limb Movements.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Significant hand and upper-limb impairment is common post-stroke. Robotic training can administer a high-dose of repetitive movement training to stroke survivors, but its efficacy can be further improved by targeting specific impairments of individua...

Developing a hybrid soft mechanism for assisting individualized flexion and extension of finger joints.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Various robotic devices have been developed for home rehabilitation and support of therapists. Special attention has been focused on soft actuators due to their high viscoelasticity and flexibility, which can contribute to the safety and affinity wit...

Machine Learning and Deep Neural Network Architectures for 3D Motion Capture Datasets.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Biomechanical movement data are highly correlated multivariate time-series for which a variety of machine learning and deep neural network classification techniques are possible. For image classification, convolutional neural networks have reshaped t...
