Morphological and control criteria for self-stable underwater hopping.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the self-stabilisation features of a hopping gait during underwater legged locomotion. We used a bio-inspired fundamental model of this gait, the underwater spring-loaded inverted pendulum model, to numerically derive quantitative...

Biarticular elements as a contributor to energy efficiency: biomechanical review and application in bio-inspired robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Despite the increased interest in exoskeleton research in the last decades, not much progress has been made on the successful reduction of user effort. In humans, biarticular elements have been identified as one of the reasons for the energy economy ...

Supervised learning techniques and their ability to classify a change of direction task strategy using kinematic and kinetic features.

Journal of biomechanics
This study examines the ability of commonly used supervised learning techniques to classify the execution of a maximum effort change of direction task into predefined movement pattern as well as the influence of fuzzy executions and the impact of sel...

Design and Computational Modeling of a Modular, Compliant Robotic Assembly for Human Lumbar Unit and Spinal Cord Assistance.

Scientific reports
Wearable soft robotic systems are enabling safer human-robot interaction and are proving to be instrumental for biomedical rehabilitation. In this manuscript, we propose a novel, modular, wearable robotic device for human (lumbar) spine assistance th...

Design of a new haptic device and experiments in minimally invasive surgical robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
In this paper, we designed a 8 degrees of freedom (DOFs) haptic device for applications in minimally invasive surgical robot. The device can provide three translational, three rotational and a grasping motion and force feedback capability. It is comp...

EMG-Based Estimation of Limb Movement Using Deep Learning With Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks.

Artificial organs
A novel model based on deep learning is proposed to estimate kinematic information for myoelectric control from multi-channel electromyogram (EMG) signals. The neural information of limb movement is embedded in EMG signals that are influenced by all ...

Older adults' acceptance of a robot for partner dance-based exercise.

PloS one
Partner dance has been shown to be beneficial for the health of older adults. Robots could potentially facilitate healthy aging by engaging older adults in partner dance-based exercise. However, partner dance involves physical contact between the dan...

Pronation and supination analysis based on biomechanical signals from Parkinson's disease patients.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
In this work, a fuzzy inference model to evaluate hands pronation/supination exercises during the MDS-UPDRS motor examination is proposed to analyze different extracted features from the bio-mechanical signals acquired from patients with Parkinson's ...

Jump stabilization and landing control by wing-spreading of a locust-inspired jumper.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bio-inspired robotics is a promising design strategy for mobile robots. Jumping is an energy efficient locomotion gait for traversing difficult terrain. Inspired by the jumping and flying behavior of the desert locust, we have recently developed a mi...
