Combining functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotics may enhance recovery after stroke, by providing neural feedback with the former while improving quality of motion and minimizing muscular fatigue with the latter. Here, we explored whethe...
Electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system is a promising therapeutic option for several conditions; however, its effects on tissue and the safety of the stimulation remain poorly understood. In order to devise stimulation protocols that...
Miniaturized electrical stimulation (ES) implants show great promise in practice, but their real-time control by means of biophysical mechanistic algorithms is not feasible due to computational complexity. Here, we study the feasibility of more compu...

Hybrid exoskeleton, comprising an exoskeleton interfaced with functional electrical stimulation (FES) technique, is conceptualized to complement the weakness of each other in automated neuro-rehabilitation of sensory-motor deficits. The externally ac...
Optical stimulation and control of muscle cell contraction opens up a number of interesting applications in hybrid robotic and medicine. Here we show that recently designed molecular phototransducer can be used to stimulate C2C12 skeletal muscle cell...

Individuals who have suffered a spinal cord injury often require assistance to complete daily activities, and for individuals with tetraplegia, recovery of upper-limb function is among their top priorities. Hybrid functional electrical stimulation (F...
This article describes development of a crab biorobot that is capable of traversing diverse environments including both land and water. We have transformed a living rainbow crab into a walking biorobot by attaching wireless controller. An anatomical ...
