Bottom-level motion control for robotic fish to swim in groups: modeling and experiments.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Moving in groups is an amazing spectacle of collective behaviour in fish and has attracted considerable interest from many fields, including biology, physics and engineering. Although robotic fish have been well studied, including algorithms to simul...

Robot-Assisted Reaching Performance of Chronic Stroke and Healthy Individuals in a Virtual Versus a Physical Environment: A Pilot Study.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The aim of the current study was to examine the role of environment, whether virtual or physical, on robot-assisted reaching movements in chronic stroke and healthy individuals, within a single session. Twenty-three subjects participated in the curre...

Gaussian Process Trajectory Learning and Synthesis of Individualized Gait Motions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a Gaussian process-based method for trajectory learning and generation of individualized gait motions at arbitrary user-designated walking speeds, intended to be used in generating reference motions for robotic gait rehabilitation...

Speech synthesis from neural decoding of spoken sentences.

Nature
Technology that translates neural activity into speech would be transformative for people who are unable to communicate as a result of neurological impairments. Decoding speech from neural activity is challenging because speaking requires very precis...

Artificial Neural Network Learns Clinical Assessment of Spasticity in Modified Ashworth Scale.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision-making rule in modified Ashworth scale (MAS) that draws maximum agreement from multiple human raters and to analyze how various biomechanical parameters affect scores in MAS.

A CNN-Based Method for Intent Recognition Using Inertial Measurement Units and Intelligent Lower Limb Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Powered intelligent lower limb prosthesis can actuate the knee and ankle joints, allowing transfemoral amputees to perform seamless transitions between locomotion states with the help of an intent recognition system. However, prior intent recognition...

Influence of New Technologies on Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: A Comparison of Armeo Spring to the Kinect System.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
BACKGROUND: New technologies to improve post-stroke rehabilitation outcomes are of great interest and have a positive impact on functional, motor, and cognitive recovery. Identifying the most effective rehabilitation intervention is a recognized prio...

A Remotely Controlled Transformable Soft Robot Based on Engineered Cardiac Tissue Construct.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Many living organisms undergo conspicuous or abrupt changes in body structure, which is often accompanied by a behavioral change. Inspired by the natural metamorphosis, robotic systems can be designed as reconfigurable to be multifunctional. Here, a ...

Analysis and evaluation of handwriting in patients with Parkinson's disease using kinematic, geometrical, and non-linear features.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that affects the motor system producing lack of coordination, resting tremor, and rigidity. Impairments in handwriting are among the main symptoms of the disease. Handwriting a...

A probabilistic recurrent neural network for decoding hind limb kinematics from multi-segment recordings of the dorsal horn neurons.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Providing accurate and robust estimates of limb kinematics from recorded neural activities is prominent in closed-loop control of functional electrical stimulation (FES). A major issue in providing accurate decoding the limb kinematics is ...
