Toward Standardized Acoustic Radiation Force (ARF)-Based Ultrasound Elasticity Measurements With Robotic Force Control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Acoustic radiation force (ARF)-based approaches to measure tissue elasticity require transmission of a focused high-energy acoustic pulse from a stationary ultrasound probe and ultrasound-based tracking of the resulting tissue displacement...

Hand-Eye Calibration in Visually-Guided Robot Grinding.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Visually-guided robot grinding is a novel and promising automation technique for blade manufacturing. One common problem encountered in robot grinding is hand-eye calibration, which establishes the pose relationship between the end effector (hand) an...

Human-Robot Interaction: Does Robotic Guidance Force Affect Gait-Related Brain Dynamics during Robot-Assisted Treadmill Walking?

PloS one
In order to determine optimal training parameters for robot-assisted treadmill walking, it is essential to understand how a robotic device interacts with its wearer, and thus, how parameter settings of the device affect locomotor control. The aim of ...

Validation of a six degree-of-freedom robotic system for hip in vitro biomechanical testing.

Journal of biomechanics
Currently, there exists a need for a more thorough understanding of native hip joint kinematics to improve the understanding of pathological conditions, injury mechanisms, and surgical interventions. A biomechanical testing system able to accomplish ...

Estimation of ground reaction forces and ankle moment with multiple, low-cost sensors.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Wearable sensor systems can provide data for at-home gait analyses and input to controllers for rehabilitation devices but they often have reduced estimation accuracy compared to laboratory systems. The goal of this study is to evaluate a...

The Effects of Fluidic Loading on Underwater Contact Sensing with Robotic Fins and Beams.

IEEE transactions on haptics
As robots become more involved in underwater operations, understanding underwater contact sensing with compliant systems is fundamental to engineering useful haptic interfaces and vehicles. Despite knowledge of contact sensation in air, little is kno...

Effects of robotic gait rehabilitation on biomechanical parameters in the chronic hemiplegic patients.

Neurophysiologie clinique = Clinical neurophysiology
Hemiplegia is a more or less complete loss of hemibody voluntary motricity following a brain injury, usually resulting in alterations of the locomotor system with persistent disorders of movement and posture. We were interested in studying the gait p...

Test-retest reliability of KINARM robot sensorimotor and cognitive assessment: in pediatric ice hockey players.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Better diagnostic and prognostic tools are needed to address issues related to early diagnosis and management of concussion across the continuum of aging but particularly in children and adolescents. The purpose of the current study was t...

A Robot-Driven Computational Model for Estimating Passive Ankle Torque With Subject-Specific Adaptation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted ankle assessment could potentially be conducted using sensor-based and model-based methods. Existing ankle rehabilitation robots usually use torquemeters and multiaxis load cells for measuring joint dynamics. These measurem...
