The knee joint plays a key role in kinematic and kinetic performances of pedestrain locomotion. The key role of meniscus with matched ligaments in joint stability and movability has not been fully explored in current robotic knee designs. We fabricat...

Although advanced wearable robots can assist human wearers, their internal faults (i.e., sensors or control errors) also pose a challenge. To ensure safe wearer-robot interactions, how internal errors by the prosthesis limb affect the stability of th...
Few studies have investigated the validity of 2D pose estimation models to evaluate kinematics throughout a motion and none have included adolescents. Adolescent athletes completed single-leg squats while 3D kinematic data and 2D sagittal and frontal...
It is a challenging task to track objects moving along an unknown trajectory. Conventional model-based controllers require detailed knowledge of a robot's kinematics and the target's trajectory. Tracking precision heavily relies on kinematics to infe...

This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic algorithm, named wild geese migration optimization (GMO) algorithm. It is inspired by the social behavior of wild geese swarming in nature. They maintain a special formation for long-distance migration in smal...
Preclinical models of aortic stenosis can induce left ventricular pressure overload and coarsely control the severity of aortic constriction. However, they do not recapitulate the haemodynamics and flow patterns associated with the disease. Here we r...

BACKGROUND: Traditional commercial master devices and specialied serial master devices meet insufficient workspace, low intuitiveness, low stiffness, and poor accuracy during master-slave mapping for robot-assisted flexible ureteroscopy (FURS).
Efficient, adaptive, locomotor function is critically important for maintaining our health and independence, but falls-related injuries when walking are a significant risk factor, particularly for more vulnerable populations such as older people and ...
Deep learning biomechanical models perform optimally when trained with large datasets, however these can be challenging to collect in gait labs, while limited augmentation techniques are available. This study presents a data augmentation approach bas...
