OBJECTIVE: To determine the cardiorespiratory and metabolic demand of the Six-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PBRT) in healthy young adults and its association with maximal arm cycle ergometer test (arm CET).
BACKGROUND: Upper limb motor deficits in patients with severe stroke often remain unresolved over time. Combining transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with robotic therapy is an innovative neurorehabilitation approach that holds promise to improve...
The investigation and study of the limbs, especially the human arm, have inspired a wide range of humanoid robots, such as movement and muscle redundancy, as a human motor system. One of the main issues related to musculoskeletal systems is the joint...

In this paper, a non-parametric model of the neuromusculoskeletal system for the biceps brachii is presented. The model serves to generate angular paths for the control of a virtual active orthosis. The path generator uses a differential neural netwo...
Understanding the human motor control strategy during physical interaction tasks is crucial for developing future robots for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). In physical human-human interaction (pHHI), small interaction forces are known to co...

BACKGROUND: Current robot-aided training allows for high-intensity training but might hamper the transfer of learned skills to real daily tasks. Many of these tasks, e.g., carrying a cup of coffee, require manipulating objects with complex dynamics. ...
Under the delicate control of the brain, people can perform graceful movements through the coordination of muscles, bones, ligaments, and joints. If artificial intelligence can be used to establish a control system that simulates the movements of hum...
Twisted and coiled actuators (TCAs), which are light but capable of producing significant power, were developed in recent times. After their introduction, there have been numerous improvements in performance, including development of techniques such ...
