Shifting the balance of human standing: Inter-limb coordination for the control of a robotic balance simulation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Learning to maintain standing balance in the presence of a paretic limb is an important recovery process for many stroke survivors. In this study, we used a robotic balance simulator to investigate whether manipulating medial-lateral or anterior-post...

Convergent Cross Mapping: Basic concept, influence of estimation parameters and practical application.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In neuroscience, data are typically generated from neural network activity. Complex interactions between measured time series are involved, and nothing or only little is known about the underlying dynamic system. Convergent Cross Mapping (CCM) provid...

Artificial nociception and motor responses to pain, for humans and robots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This concept paper describes nociception and the role of pain in humans. Understanding the mechanisms of pain can give insight into the implementation of artificial pain for robots. Identification of noxious contacts could help robots to elicit react...

Development of an excretion care support robot with human cooperative characteristics.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To support care giving in an aging society with a shrinking population, various life support robots are being developed. In the authors' laboratory, an excretion care support robot (ECSR) with human cooperative characteristic has been developed to re...

Predicting Protein-Protein Interaction Sites with a Novel Membership Based Fuzzy SVM Classifier.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Predicting residues that participate in protein-protein interactions (PPI) helps to identify, which amino acids are located at the interface. In this paper, we show that the performance of the classical support vector machine (SVM) algorithm can furt...

BMExpert: Mining MEDLINE for Finding Experts in Biomedical Domains Based on Language Model.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
With the rapid development of biomedical sciences, a great number of documents have been published to report new scientific findings and advance the process of knowledge discovery. By the end of 2013, the largest biomedical literature database, MEDLI...

BP neural network tuned PID controller for position tracking of a pneumatic artificial muscle.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Although Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) has a promising future in rehabilitation robots, it's difficult to realize accurate position control due to its highly nonlinear properties.

An improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm for assisted therapy of chronic bronchitis.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Bronchitis is considered a non-specific inflammation in the peripheral tissues of the trachea and bronchus. Many therapeutic schemes for chronic bronchitis have been reported in existing research.

Fuzzy linguistic prediction model for sinoatrial node field potential analysis in acute hyperglycemia environment.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
The objective of this study is to build a fuzzy linguistic prediction model (FLPM) for analyzing the actuation duration of acute hyperglycemia to sinoatrial node field potential. The field potential was recorded using microelectrode arrays (MEA). The...

Design of a biped robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
High compliant legs are essential for the efficient versatile locomotion and shock absorbency of humans. This study proposes a biped robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles to mimic human locomotion. On the basis of the musculoskeletal archite...
