Gyroscopic actuators are appealing for wearable applications due to their ability to provide overground balance support without obstructing the legs. Multiple wearable robots using this actuation principle have been proposed, but none has yet been ev...
BACKGROUND: Current evaluation methods for robotic-assisted surgery (ARCS or GEARS) are limited to 5-point Likert scales which are inherently time-consuming and require a degree of subjective scoring. In this study, we demonstrate a method to break d...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recent advances in the machine learning field, especially in deep learning, provide the opportunity for automated, detailed, and unbiased analysis of motor behavior. Although there has not yet been wide use of these techniques in t...
Fish locomotion is characterized by waves of muscle electrical activity that proceed from head to tail, and result in an undulatory pattern of body bending that generates thrust during locomotion. Isolating the effects of parameters like body stiffne...
The annelid, which consists of several identical segments, exploits its soft structures to move effectively in complex natural environments. Elongation and shortening of different segments produce a reverse peristaltic wave while retractable setae ge...

PURPOSE: Concentric tube robots are composed of multiple concentric, pre-curved, super-elastic, telescopic tubes that are compliant and have a small diameter suitable for interventions that must be minimally invasive like fetal surgery. Combinations ...
To extend the choice of inertial motion-tracking systems freely available to researchers and educators, this paper presents an alternative open-source design of a wearable 7-DOF wireless human arm motion-tracking system. Unlike traditional inertial m...
Research on soft robots and swimming robots has been widely reported and demonstrated. However, none of these soft swimming robots can swim flexibly and efficiently using legs, just like a frog. This paper demonstrates a self-contained, untethered sw...
BACKGROUND: Manual annotation of initial contact (IC) and end contact (EC) is a time consuming process. There are currently no robust techniques available to automate this process for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with freezing of gait (FOG).
Abnormal running kinematics are associated with an increased incidence of lower extremity injuries among runners. Accurate and unobtrusive running kinematic measurement plays an important role in the detection of gait abnormalities and the prevention...
