In this paper, we propose a machine learning-based virtual physical therapist (PT) system to enable personalized remote training for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Three physical therapy tasks with multiple difficulty levels are selected to ...
A new approach to gait rehabilitation task of a 12 DOF lower limb exoskeleton is proposed combining time-delay estimation (TDE) based computed torque control (CTC) and robust adaptive RBF neural networks. In addition to the conventional advantages of...
The rehabilitation robot is an application of robotic technology for people with limb disabilities. This paper investigates a new applicable and effective sitting/lying lower limb rehabilitation robot (the LLR-Ro). In order to improve the patient's t...
With the introduction of variable friction displays, either based on ultrasonic or electrovibration technology, new possibilities have emerged in haptic texture rendering on flat surfaces. In this work, we propose a data-driven method for realistic t...
For collaboration of humans and bipedal robots in human environments, this paper proposes a stability control method for dynamically modifiable bipedal walking using a capture point (CP) tracking controller. A reasonable reference CP trajectory for t...

PURPOSE: Manual feedback from senior surgeons observing less experienced trainees is a laborious task that is very expensive, time-consuming and prone to subjectivity. With the number of surgical procedures increasing annually, there is an unpreceden...
While designing a dynamic hand orthosis to assist during activities of daily living, the designer has to know whether a concept will have sufficient grasp performance to support these activities. This is often estimated by measuring the interaction f...
