Understanding the human motor control strategy during physical interaction tasks is crucial for developing future robots for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). In physical human-human interaction (pHHI), small interaction forces are known to co...
Different from traditional redundant manipulators, the redundant manipulators used in the surgical environment require the end effector (EE) to have high pose (position and orientation) accuracy to ensure the smooth progress of the operation. When an...
Quadrupeds exhibit versatile and adaptive running by exploiting the flying phase during the stride cycle. Various interlimb coordination mechanisms focusing on mechanical loads during the stance phase have been proposed to understand the underlying c...
This paper presents the empirical evaluation of the path-tracking accuracy of a three-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot that is able to move in any direction while simultaneously changing its orientation. The mobile robot assessed in this paper in...
Biomimicry of the stomach's peristaltic contractions can be challenging in the design, modeling, and control of a soft actuator. The mimicking of organ contractions advances our knowledge of the digestive system and analyzes the biological behavior b...
In this paper, we perform experimental investigations of the aerodynamic characteristics due to wing clapping in bio-inspired flying robots; i.e., micro-air-vehicles (MAVs) that fly by flapping their wings. For this purpose, four flapping MAV models ...
Analysis of kinematic features related to clinical assessment scales may qualitatively improve the evaluation of upper extremity movements of stroke patients. We aimed to investigate kinematic features that could correlate the change in the Fugl-Meye...
INTRODUCTION: Structural defects created by endodontic treatment are the most common cause of major dental failures. This study analyzed levels of stress produced by endodontic instruments during the root canal treatment by photoelastic analysis of s...

OBJECTIVE: Many recent studies suggest that brain deformation resulting from head impacts are linked to the corresponding clinical outcome, such as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Even if several finite element (FE) head models have been develope...
Aiming at highly dynamic locomotion and impact mitigation, this paper proposes the design and implementation of a symmetric legged robot. Based on the analysis of the three-leg topology in terms of force sensitivity, force production, and impact miti...
