Entraining human gait with a periodic mechanical perturbation has been proposed as a potentially effective strategy for gait rehabilitation, but the related studies have mostly depended on the use of a fixed-speed treadmill (FST) due to various pract...
Modeling and control methods for stiffness-tunable soft robots (STSRs) have received less attention compared to standard soft robots. A major challenge in controlling STSRs is their infinite degrees of freedom, similar to standard soft robots. In thi...
Previous research on wearable robotics focused on developing actuation mechanisms while overlooking influences of skin movement. During finger flexion, skins on the opisthenar and finger back are stretched. Impeding such skin movement will obstruct n...
Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) show impressive environmental adaptation, having high dexterity and flexibility. To design robots that mimic these abilities, a novel bioinspired robotic design (BIROD) method is presented. The method is compose...

From biological organs to soft robotics, highly deformable materials are essential components of natural and engineered systems. These highly deformable materials can have heterogeneous material properties, and can experience heterogeneous deformatio...
Deep learning models (DLM) are efficient replacements for computationally intensive optimization techniques. Musculoskeletal models (MSM) typically involve resource-intensive optimization processes for determining joint and muscle forces. Consequentl...
Automated volumetric meshing of patient-specific heart geometry can help expedite various biomechanics studies, such as post-intervention stress estimation. Prior meshing techniques often neglect important modeling characteristics for successful down...
Lower limb exoskeletons and orthoses have been increasingly used to assist the user during gait rehabilitation through torque transmission and motor stability. However, the physical human-robot interface (HRi) has not been properly addressed. Current...
Quantitative Gait Analysis (QGA) is considered as an objective measure of gait performance. In this study, we aim at designing an artificial intelligence that can efficiently predict the progression of gait quality using kinematic data obtained from ...
This short communication presents the gait1415+2 musculoskeletal model, that has been developed in OpenSim to describe the lower-extremity of a human subject with transfemoral amputation wearing a generic lower-limb bone-anchored prosthesis. The mode...
