CARRT-Motion Capture Data for Robotic Human Upper Body Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, researchers have focused on analyzing humans' daily living activities to study various performance metrics that humans subconsciously optimize while performing a particular task. In order to recreate these motions in robotic structur...

The effect of sequential combination of mirror therapy and robot-assisted therapy on motor function, daily function, and self-efficacy after stroke.

Scientific reports
Robot-assisted therapy and mirror therapy are both effective in promoting upper limb function after stroke and combining these two interventions might yield greater therapeutic effects. We aimed to examine whether using mirror therapy as a priming st...

A Hierarchical Multitask Learning Approach for the Recognition of Activities of Daily Living Using Data from Wearable Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Machine learning with deep neural networks (DNNs) is widely used for human activity recognition (HAR) to automatically learn features, identify and analyze activities, and to produce a consequential outcome in numerous applications. However, learning...

A bidirectional fabric-based soft robotic glove for hand function assistance in patients with chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Chronic stroke patients usually experience reduced hand functions, impeding their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) independently. Additionally, improvements in hand functions by physical therapy beyond six months after...

Deep Learning in the Recognition of Activities of Daily Living Using Smartwatch Data.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The recognition of human activities (HAR) using wearable device data, such as smartwatches, has gained significant attention in the field of computer science due to its potential to provide insights into individuals' daily activities. This article ai...

A Novel Soft Glove Utilizing Honeycomb Pneumatic Actuators (HPAs) for Assisting Activities of Daily Living.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Fabric-based pneumatic actuators (FPAs) are extensively employed in the design of lightweight and compliant soft wearable assistive gloves. However, conventional FPAs typically exhibit limited output force, thereby restricting the applications of suc...

Efficient Self-Attention Model for Speech Recognition-Based Assistive Robots Control.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Assistive robots are tools that people living with upper body disabilities can leverage to autonomously perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Unfortunately, conventional control methods still rely on low-dimensional, easy-to-implement interfaces ...

A Light-Weight Artificial Neural Network for Recognition of Activities of Daily Living.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human activity recognition (HAR) is essential for the development of robots to assist humans in daily activities. HAR is required to be accurate, fast and suitable for low-cost wearable devices to ensure portable and safe assistance. Current computat...

Modeling contact forces during human-robot interactions for performing activities of daily living.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This study aims to characterize contact forces between humans and tools during activities of daily living (ADL) to provide information to a personal care robot. The study was conducted on non-impaired subjects to capture various static and dynamic fo...

Weight-shifting-based robot control system improves the weight-bearing rate and balance ability of the static standing position in hip osteoarthritis patients: a randomized controlled trial focusing on outcomes after total hip arthroplasty.

PeerJ
BACKGROUND: After a total hip arthroplasty (THA), standing and walking balance are greatly affected in the early stages of recovery, so it is important to increase the weight-bearing amount (WBA) on the operated side. Sometimes, traditional treatment...
