Development of an Electrical Current Stimulator for Activating Muscle Tissues in Biohybrid Machines.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Soft and flexible robots are being developed as an alternative to traditional robotics. While they offer significant adaptability to the external environment, the integration of biological tissues as actuators presents several challenges. One of the ...

Model-Based Shared Control of a Hybrid FES-Exoskeleton: An Application in Participant-Specific Robotic Rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
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...

The long-acting walking control of a cockroach bio-bot for vision-aided pipeline navigation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many small bionic crawling robots have been invented for search and rescue missions in narrow spaces. However, their locomotion capability is far from that of insects of the same size. Transforming a cockroach into a bio-bot has been a hot topic in t...

Control method for bio-actuators based on muscle contraction model.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
For the practical application of bio-actuators, it is desired to develop a precise control method for skeletal muscles. In this study, a novel model-based control method has been proposed. The control method enables skeletal muscles to exert an arbit...

THE ROLE OF BURSTS IN SENSORY DISCRIMINATION AND RETENTION OF FAVORED INPUTS IN THE CULTURED NEURAL NETWORKS.

Georgian medical news
The capacity of neural tissue to discriminiate the sensory signals determines how we recognise the world diversity. Dissociated cortical culture (DCC) homed in a multielectrode array allows mimicking neural networks of the brain and using it for inve...

Adaptive Cooperative Control for Hybrid FES-Robotic Upper Limb Devices: a Simulation Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic systems and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) are common technologies exploited in motor rehabilitation. However, they present some limits. To overcome the weaknesses of both approaches, hybrid cooperative devices have been developed, w...

Frequency-dependent response in cortical network with periodic electrical stimulation.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
Electrical stimulation can shape oscillations in brain activity. However, the mechanism of how periodic electrical stimulation modulates brain oscillations by time-delayed neural networks is poorly understood at present. To address this question, we ...

A novel rat robot controlled by electrical stimulation of the nigrostriatal pathway.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE: Artificial manipulation of animal movement could offer interesting advantages and potential applications using the animal's inherited superior sensation and mobility. Although several behavior control models have been introduced, they gene...

Biohybrid robotics with living cell actuation.

Chemical Society reviews
As simulators of organisms in Nature, soft robots have been developed over the past few decades. In particular, biohybrid robots constructed by integrating living cells with soft materials demonstrate the unique advantage of simulating the constructi...

[Brain-Machine Interface and Neuro-Rehabilitation].

Brain and nerve = Shinkei kenkyu no shinpo
Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) is a technology that enables users to control computers/machines intuitively via their volitional brain activities. Controlling robotic arms and tablet PCs, assisting the movement of paretic limbs through robotic action/...
