Activities of daily living with bionic arm improved by combination training and latching filter in prosthesis control comparison.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Advanced prostheses can restore function and improve quality of life for individuals with amputations. Unfortunately, most commercial control strategies do not fully utilize the rich control information from residual nerves and musculatur...

Safety Evaluation and Experimental Study of a New Bionic Muscle Cable-Driven Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Safety is a significant evaluation index of rehabilitation medical devices and a significant precondition for practical application. However, the safety evaluation of cable-driven rehabilitation robots has not been reported, so this work aims to stud...

Restoration of sensory information via bionic hands.

Nature biomedical engineering
Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the acquisition of control signals that drive the movements of the ro...

Design and control of a bionic needle puncture robot.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The application of minimally invasive interventional breast surgery is becoming more and more widespread. The accurate puncture of breast cancer needs to solve the problems of tissue deformation and target displacement.

Insect-machine hybrid robot.

Current opinion in insect science
Recently, insect-machine hybrid robots have been developed that incorporate insects into robots or incorporate machines into insects. Most previous studies were motivated to use the function of insects for robots, but this technology can also prove t...

Flexible electromagnetic capturer with a rapid ejection feature inspired by a biological ballistic tongue.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bionics is the inspiration resource of state-of-the-art science and technology. The chameleon can capture prey at great distances with the assistance of its highly stretchable and ballistic tongue. Inspired by this biological structure, here we demon...

Machine-Learning-Based Muscle Control of a 3D-Printed Bionic Arm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, a customizable wearable 3D-printed bionic arm is designed, fabricated, and optimized for a right arm amputee. An experimental test has been conducted for the user, where control of the artificial bionic hand is accomplished successfull...

A bioinspired analogous nerve towards artificial intelligence.

Nature communications
A bionic artificial device commonly integrates various distributed functional units to mimic the functions of biological sensory neural system, bringing intricate interconnections, complicated structure, and interference in signal transmission. Here ...

What microsurgeon, orthopaedic and plastic surgeon should know about bionic hand.

Injury
Hand loss is a catastrophic event that generates significant demands for orthopedics and prosthetics. In the course of history, prostheses evolved from passive esthetic replacements to sophisticated robotic hands. Yet, their actuation and particularl...
