This paper presents a method which avoids the common practice of using a complex coupled snake robot model and performing kinematic analysis for control in cluttered environments. Instead, we introduce a completely decoupled dynamical Bayesian formul...
Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed to address this missing function by enabling neural control o...
One challenge to achieving widespread success of augmentative exoskeletons is accurately adjusting the controller to provide cooperative assistance with their wearer. Often, the controller parameters are "tuned" to optimize a physiological or biomech...
BACKGROUND: With an increasing number of systems for quantifying lameness-related movement asymmetry, between-system comparisons under non-laboratory conditions are important for multi-centre or referral-level studies. This study compares an artifici...
Lower limb loss is a major insult to the body's nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Despite technological advances in prosthesis design, artificial limbs are not yet integrated into the body's physiological systems. Therefore, lower limb amputees (L...
Surgical workflow analysis is essential to help optimize surgery by encouraging efficient communication and the use of resources. However, the performance of phase recognition is limited by the use of information related to the presence of surgical i...
Inverse dynamics from motion capture is the most common technique for acquiring biomechanical kinetic data. However, this method is time-intensive, limited to a gait laboratory setting, and requires a large array of reflective markers to be attached ...
Real world settings are seldomly just composed of level surfaces and stairs are frequently encountered in daily life. Unfortunately, ~ 90% of the elderly population use some sort of compensation pattern in order to negotiate stairs. Because the biome...
Up to now bio-inspired fish-mimicking robots fail when competing with the swimming performance of real fish. While tail motion has been studied extensively, the influence of the head motion is still not fully understood and its active control is chal...

The human stomach is a complex organ. Its role is to degrade food particles by using mechanical forces and chemical reactions in order to release nutrients. All ingested items, including our nutrition, should first pass through the stomach, making it...
