Fast, variable stiffness-induced braided coiled artificial muscles.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Biomimetic actuation technologies with high muscle strokes, cycle rates, and work capacities are necessary for robotic systems. We present a muscle type that operates based on changes in muscle stiffness caused by volume expansion. This muscle is cre...

Recurrent Neural Network Enabled Continuous Motion Estimation of Lower Limb Joints From Incomplete sEMG Signals.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Decoding continuous human motion from surface electromyography (sEMG) in advance is crucial for improving the intelligence of exoskeleton robots. However, incomplete sEMG signals are prevalent on account of unstable data transmission, sensor malfunct...

Physical reservoir computing on a soft bio-inspired swimmer.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Bio-inspired Autonomous Underwater Vehicles with soft bodies provide significant performance benefits over conventional propeller-driven vehicles; however, it is difficult to control these vehicles due to their soft underactuated bodies. This study i...

Deep learning enabled in vitro predicting biological tissue thickness using force measurement device.

Computers in biology and medicine
Accurate perception of biological tissues (BT) thickness is essential for preliminary evaluation of medical diagnosis and animal nutrition. However, traditional thickness measuring approaches of BT require complex operation, high-cost, and trigger bi...

Modelling human postural stability and muscle activation augmented by a supernumerary robotic tail.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Wearable robots have promising characteristics for human augmentation; however, the the design and specification stage needs to consider biomechanical impact. In this work, musculoskeletal software is used to assess the biomechanical implications of ...

Human-AI collaboration improves adults' oral biomechanical functions: A multi-centre, self-controlled clinical trial.

Journal of dentistry
OBJECTIVES: Maintenance of oral muscle functions is important for survival and communication. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a self-health-management material has shown promise. Here we developed a functional and AI-enabled smartphone e-Or...

Encoding spatiotemporal asymmetry in artificial cilia with a ctenophore-inspired soft-robotic platform.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A remarkable variety of organisms use metachronal coordination (i.e. numerous neighboring appendages beating sequentially with a fixed phase lag) to swim or pump fluid. This coordination strategy is used by microorganisms to break symmetry at small s...

Real-Time Calibration-Free Musculotendon Kinematics for Neuromusculoskeletal Models.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) models enable non-invasive estimation of clinically important internal biomechanics. A critical part of NMS modelling is the estimation of musculotendon kinematics, which comprise musculotendon unit lengths, moment arms, an...

Research on the Motion Control Strategy of a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Using the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The motion control system of a lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot (LLERR) is designed to assist patients in lower-limb rehabilitation exercises. This research designed a motion controller for an LLERR-based on the Twin Delayed Deep Determini...

A Novel Bilateral Underactuated Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Bimanual ADL Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a lightweight bilateral underactuated upper limb exoskeleton (UULE) designed to assist chronic stroke patients with distal joint (Elbow-Wrist) impairments during bimanual activities of daily living (ADL). The UULE aims to assist...
