Modifying upper-limb inter-joint coordination in healthy subjects by training with a robotic exoskeleton.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jun 12, 2017
BACKGROUND: The possibility to modify the usually pathological patterns of coordination of the upper-limb in stroke survivors remains a central issue and an open question for neurorehabilitation. Despite robot-led physical training could potentially ...
Biomechanical Reactions of Exoskeleton Neurorehabilitation Robots in Spastic Elbows and Wrists.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jun 9, 2017
Spasticity is an important factor in designing wearable and lightweight exoskeleton neurorehabilitation robots. The proposed study evaluates biomechanical reactions of an exoskeleton robot to spasticity and establishes relevant guidelines for robot d...
Propulsive performance of an under-actuated robotic ribbon fin.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 2, 2017
Many aquatic animals propelled by elongated undulatory fins can perform complex maneuvers and swim with high efficiency at low speeds. In this propulsion, one or multiple waves travel along an elastic fin composed of flexible rays. In this study, we ...
An Implantable Extracardiac Soft Robotic Device for the Failing Heart: Mechanical Coupling and Synchronization.
Soft robotics
May 30, 2017
Soft robotic devices have significant potential for medical device applications that warrant safe synergistic interaction with humans. This article describes the optimization of an implantable soft robotic system for heart failure whereby soft actuat...
Continuous detection of human fall using multimodal features from Kinect sensors in scalable environment.
Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
May 25, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Automatic detection of human fall is a key problem in video surveillance and home monitoring. Existing methods using unimodal data (RGB / depth / skeleton) may suffer from the drawbacks of inadequate lighting condition or u...
Arthrobots.
Soft robotics
May 24, 2017
This article describes a class of robots-"arthrobots"-inspired, in part, by the musculoskeletal system of arthropods (spiders and insects, inter alia). Arthrobots combine mechanical compliance, lightweight and simple construction, and inexpensive yet...
Design of hair-like appendages and comparative analysis on their coordination toward steady and efficient swimming.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 22, 2017
The locomotion of water beetles has been widely studied in biology owing to their remarkable swimming skills. Inspired by the oar-like legs of water beetles, designing a robot that swims under the principle of drag-powered propulsion can lead to high...
Bayesian geodesic path for human motor control.
Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
May 17, 2017
Despite a near-infinite number of possible movement trajectories, our body movements exhibit certain invariant features across individuals; for example, when grasping a cup, individuals choose an approximately linear path from the hand to the cup. Ba...
Experimental and numerical studies of beetle-inspired flapping wing in hovering flight.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 17, 2017
In this paper, we measure unsteady forces and visualize 3D vortices around a beetle-like flapping wing model in hovering flight by experiment and numerical simulation. The measurement of unsteady forces and flow patterns around the wing were conducte...
Undulatory Swimming Performance and Body Stiffness Modulation in a Soft Robotic Fish-Inspired Physical Model.
Soft robotics
May 16, 2017
Undulatory motion of the body is the dominant mode of locomotion in fishes, and numerous studies of body kinematics and muscle activity patterns have provided insights into the mechanics of swimming. However, it has not been possible to investigate h...
