Recent Progress in the Physical Principles of Dynamic Ground Self-Righting.

Integrative and comparative biology
Animals and robots must self-right on the ground after overturning. Biology research has described various strategies and motor patterns in many species. Robotics research has devised many strategies. However, we do not well understand the physical p...

From Behavior to Bio-Inspiration: Aerial Reorientation and Multi-Plane Stability in Kangaroo Rats, Computational Models, and Robots.

Integrative and comparative biology
Tails play essential roles in functions related to locomotor stability and maneuverability among terrestrial and arboreal animals. In kangaroo rats, bipedal hopping rodents, tails are used as effective inertial appendages for stability in hopping, bu...

A neural network model for goat gait.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
In this paper, our main objective was to investigate the central pattern generator (CPG) neural network model for quadruped gait with time delay. First, we computed the normal form of the model on the center manifold, the bifurcation direction, and s...

Changes in pressure of strap while walking in a robotic gait training system.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Exoskeletons have been developed and widely used for medical, industrial, military applications. Since the exoskeletons are designed to provide the users with torques needed for the specific applications, it is important for the torques generated by ...

Neural Networks-Based Approach to Solve Inverse Kinematics Problems for Medical Applications.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
GOAL: Motion capture is used for recording complex human movements that is increasingly applied in medicine. We describe a novel algorithm of combining a machine learning approach with biomechanics to enable fast and robust analysis of motion capture...

Remote Motor Rehabilitation: EMG-IMU based Deep Learning Model Improves the Estimate of Wrist Kinematics.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Technology for motor rehabilitation faces challenges in uncontrolled settings, such as at home. In these real-world scenarios, robust signals like electromyographic (EMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data are crucial for decoding continuous hu...

Swallowing Assessment using High-Resolution Cervical Auscultations and Transformer-based Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Swallowing assessment is a crucial task to reveal swallowing abnormalities. There are multiple modalities to analyze swallowing kinematics, such as videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS), which is the gold standard method, and high-resolution cervi...

Computational Analysis of Mechanical Interactions between a Soft Robotic Device and a Skin-Muscle Phantom for Mechanotherapy.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Studying the soft robot-tissue mechanical interaction in muscle stimulation devices poses a significant challenge due to the complex behavior of the materials involved. To advance this field, this paper models computationally three types of soft elas...

Estimating Upper-extremity Function with Raw Kinematic Trajectory Data after Stroke using End-to-end Machine Learning Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Although there are some studies on the automatic evaluation of impairment levels after stroke using machine learning (ML) models, few have delved into the predictive capabilities of raw motion data. In this study, we captured kinematic trajectories o...

Exploring Kinematics Contribution to the Arm Stiffness Modulation During Overground Physical Human-Robot Interaction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This work studied the effect of arm kinematics on human arm stiffness modulation during overground physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). Previously, using a pHRI robot OPHRIE, it was shown that humans decreased their arm stiffness to enhance sensi...
