Kinematic and Workspace Analysis of the Master Robot in the Sina Robotic Telesurgery System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic telesurgery systems, including master and slave robots, have emerged in recent years to provide benefits for both surgeons and patients. Surgeons use the master manipulator to navigate the slave robot. The Sina telesurgery system introduced r...

A 3-DOF Bionic Waist Joint for Humanoid Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this study, a 3 degree-of-freedom bionic waist joint was developed with coupled tendon-driven mechanism. This bionic waist joint can not only ensure the safety of the human-robot interface, but also increase the load capacity without increasing th...

A Soft Robotic Gripper Based on Bioinspired Fingers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In the past, partly due to modeling complexities and technical constraints, fingers of soft grippers are rarely driven by high number of actuators, which leads to lack of dexterity. Here we propose a soft robotic gripper with modular anthropomorphic ...

Diagnosis Cerebellar Ataxia using Deep Learning with Time Series Transformed Image.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Cerebellar ataxia (CA) is defined by disrupted coordination of movement suffering from disease of the cerebellum. It reflects fragmented movements of the eyes, vocal, upper limbs, balance, gait, and lower limbs. This study aims to use a motion sensor...

Mechanical Efficiency Investigation of an Ankle-Assisted Robot for Human Walking With a Backpack-Load.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
The purpose of this work is to investigate the efficiency of wearable assistive devices under different load-carriage walking. We designed an experimental platform with a lightweight ankle-assisted robot. Eight subjects were tested in three experimen...

[Biomechanical analysis of sitting-up movement of knee joint after robot-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Navio robot-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) on the biomechanics of knee joint during sitting-up movement, and to determine whether UKA can maintain the biomechanical characteristics of knee jo...

[Optimal lower limb alignment and soft tissue balancing strategy for robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
Lower limb alignment and soft tissue balance are important factors affecting patient satisfaction, clinical functional outcome, and prosthetic long-term survival rate after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Robot-assisted TKA (rTKA) has the advantages o...

Assessment of Muscle Activation of Caregivers Performing Dependent Transfers With a Novel Robotic-Assisted Transfer Device Compared With the Hoyer Advance.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity in caregivers while using a novel robotic-assisted transfer device (Strong Arm) to a clinical standard of care (Hoyer Advance).

Reducing Metabolic Cost During Planetary Ambulation Using Robotic Actuation.

Aerospace medicine and human performance
Current spacesuits are cumbersome and metabolically expensive. The use of robotic actuators could improve extravehicular activity performance. We propose a novel method to quantify the benefit of robotic actuators during planetary ambulation. Using ...

Toward a living soft microrobot through optogenetic locomotion control of .

Science robotics
Learning from the locomotion of natural organisms is one of the most effective strategies for designing microrobots. However, the development of bioinspired microrobots is still challenging because of technical bottlenecks such as design and seamless...
