One of the major challenges in developing powered lower limb prostheses is emulating the behavior of an intact lower limb with different walking speeds over diverse terrains. Numerous studies have been conducted on control algorithms in the field of ...
A digital twin for a multifunctional technology for flexible manufacturing on an assembly, disassembly, and repair mechatronics line (A/D/RML), assisted by a complex autonomous system (CAS), is presented in the paper. The hardware architecture consis...

PURPOSE: The complex and elaborate structure of the urinary system presents surgeons with difficulty in using a ureteroscope with a fixed optical fiber to reach the targeted calculus. To address this challenge, a robotic device is required to control...
Optimal placement of deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for treating movement disorders routinely relies on intraoperative motor testing for target determination. However, in current practice, motor testing relies on subjective interpretation and c...
Attitude control is an essential flight capability. Whereas flying robots commonly rely on accelerometers for estimating attitude, flying insects lack an unambiguous sense of gravity. Despite the established role of several sense organs in attitude s...
Rigid-flexible-soft coupled robots are an important development direction of robotics, which face many theoretical and technical challenges in their design, manufacture, and modeling. Inspired by fishbones, we propose a novel cable-driven single-back...
Neuromotor pathologies often cause motor deficits and deviations from typical locomotion, reducing the quality of life. Clinical gait analysis is used to effectively classify these motor deficits to gain deeper insights into resulting walking behavio...
Natural terrain is uneven so it may be beneficial to grasp onto the depressions or 'valleys' between obstacles when walking over such a surface. To examine how leg geometry influences walking across obstacles with valleys, we (1) modeled the performa...
