Deep Learning Movement Intent Decoders Trained With Dataset Aggregation for Prosthetic Limb Control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
SIGNIFICANCE: The performance of traditional approaches to decoding movement intent from electromyograms (EMGs) and other biological signals commonly degrade over time. Furthermore, conventional algorithms for training neural network based decoders m...

Interactive Compliance Control of a Wrist Rehabilitation Device (WRD) with Enhanced Training Safety.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Interaction control plays an important role in rehabilitation devices to ensure training safety and efficacy. Compliance adaptation of interaction is vital for enabling robot movements to better suit the patient's requirements as human joint characte...

An Uncontrolled Manifold Analysis of Arm Joint Variability in Virtual Planar Position and Orientation Telemanipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: In teleoperated robot-assisted tasks, the user interacts with manipulators to finely control remote tools. Manipulation of robotic devices, characterized by specific kinematic and dynamic proprieties, is a complex task for the human sensor...

Design and analysis of coiled fiber reinforced soft pneumatic actuator.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Fiber reinforced elastomeric enclosures (FREEs) are soft pneumatic actuators that can contract and generate forces upon pressurization. Typical engineering applications utilize FREEs in their straight cylindrical configuration and derive actuation di...

Manipulation of Biomolecule-Modified Liquid-Metal Blobs.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)
Soft and deformable liquid metals (LMs) are building components in various systems related to uncertain and dynamic task environments. Herein we describe the development of a biomolecule-triggered external-manipulation method involving LM conjugates ...

An Implantable Extracardiac Soft Robotic Device for the Failing Heart: Mechanical Coupling and Synchronization.

Soft robotics
Soft robotic devices have significant potential for medical device applications that warrant safe synergistic interaction with humans. This article describes the optimization of an implantable soft robotic system for heart failure whereby soft actuat...

Optimizing Double-Network Hydrogel for Biomedical Soft Robots.

Soft robotics
Double-network hydrogel with standardized chemical parameters demonstrates a reasonable and viable alternative to silicone in soft robotic fabrication due to its biocompatibility, comparable mechanical properties, and customizability through the alte...

Virtual wall-based haptic-guided teleoperated surgical robotic system for single-port brain tumor removal surgery.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This article presents a haptic-guided teleoperation for a tumor removal surgical robotic system, so-called a SIROMAN system. The system was developed in our previous work to make it possible to access tumor tissue, even those that seat deeply inside ...

A novel curvature-controllable steerable needle for percutaneous intervention.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Over the last few decades, flexible steerable robotic needles for percutaneous intervention have been the subject of significant interest. However, there still remain issues related to (a) steering the needle's direction with less damage to surroundi...
