Inspired by the fastest observed live fishes, we have designed, built and tested a robotic fish that emulates the fast-start maneuver of these fishes and generates acceleration and velocity magnitudes comparable to those of the live fishes within the...
Following prolonged swimming, cycle between active swimming bouts and inactive quiescent bouts. Swimming is exercise for and here we suggest that inactive bouts are a recovery state akin to fatigue. It is known that cGMP-dependent kinase (PKG) acti...
OBJECTIVE: We investigated how participants controlling a humanoid robotic arm's 3D endpoint position by moving their own hand are influenced by the robot's postures. We hypothesized that control would be facilitated (impeded) by biologically plausib...

In this paper, an improved recurrent neural network (RNN) scheme is proposed to perform the trajectory control of redundant robot manipulators using remote center of motion (RCM) constraints. Firstly, learning by demonstration is implemented to model...

This research introduces a new exoskeleton-type rehabilitation robot, which can be used in lower limb rehabilitation therapy for post-stroke patients. A novel design of a typical knee and ankle rehabilitation robot is proposed. The kinematic and dyna...
Golf swing segmentation with inertial measurement units (IMUs) is an essential process for swing analysis using wearables. However, no attempt has been made to apply machine learning models to estimate and divide golf swing phases. In this study, we ...

BACKGROUND: Body weight support systems with three or more degrees of freedom (3-DoF) are permissive and safe environments that provide unloading and allow unrestricted movement in any direction. This enables training of walking and balance control a...
Many machine learning models show black box characteristics and, therefore, a lack of transparency, interpretability, and trustworthiness. This strongly limits their practical application in clinical contexts. For overcoming these limitations, Explai...
Walking on different terrains leads to different biomechanics, which motivates the development of exoskeletons for assisting on walking according to the type of a terrain. The design of a lightweight soft exoskeleton that simultaneously assists multi...
