This paper presents a novel approach for designing a robotic orthosis controller considering physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). Computer simulation for this human-robot system can be advantageous in terms of time and cost due to the laborious n...
Neuromuscular control refers to the reflexes of nerves that affect muscle balance and function. In addition, there are interactions between joint structure, muscle function, and the central nervous system. In the integration with other intelligent co...
This paper introduces a Hexa parallel robot and obstacle collision detection method based on dynamic modeling and a computer vision system. The processes to deal with the collision issues refer to collision detection, collision isolation, and collisi...
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is a commonly adopted technique used to restore motor functionality of neurological patients. However, despite promising results were achieved, the effects of human-robot interaction on human motor control and the r...
