This paper proposes a strictly predefined-time convergent and anti-noise fractional-order zeroing neural network (SPTC-AN-FOZNN) model, meticulously designed for addressing time-variant quadratic programming (TVQP) problems. This model marks the firs...
The application of lower-limb exoskeleton robots in rehabilitation is becoming more prevalent, where the precision of control and the speed of response are essential for effective movement tracking. This study tackles the challenge of optimizing both...
Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are widely utilized in shoulder rehabilitation due to their portability and cost-effectiveness, but their reliance on spatial motion data restricts their use in comprehensive musculoskeletal analyses. To overcome thi...

Wing articulation is critical for the efficient flight of bird- and bat-sized animals. Inspired by the flight of , the lesser short-nosed fruit bat, we built a two-degree-of-freedom flapping wing platform with variable wing folding capability. In the...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Feb 18, 2025
PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of upper limb dysfunctions due to stroke, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis presents a critical challenge in assistive technology: designing robotic arms that are both energy‑efficient and capable of effe...
Precise patient positioning is paramount in radiosurgery to ensure the accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This study focuses on the development and validation of a robust forward kinematics (FK) model...
A transverse ledge brachiation robot is designed to move transversely along a ledge on a vertical wall by generating energy from the swinging motion of its lower limbs. This method reduces the force required by the upper limbs to propel the robot for...
