Mixed Neural Network Approach for Temporal Sleep Stage Classification.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a practical approach to addressing limitations posed by using of single-channel electroencephalography (EEG) for sleep stage classification. EEG-based characterizations of sleep stage progression contribute the diagnosis and monit...

A salient region detection model combining background distribution measure for indoor robots.

PloS one
Vision system plays an important role in the field of indoor robot. Saliency detection methods, capturing regions that are perceived as important, are used to improve the performance of visual perception system. Most of state-of-the-art methods for s...

A computationally efficient method for hand-eye calibration.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical robots with cooperative control and semiautonomous features have shown increasing clinical potential, particularly for repetitive tasks under imaging and vision guidance. Effective performance of an autonomous task requires accurate...

Preliminary testing by adults of a haptics-assisted robot platform designed for children with physical impairments to access play.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Development of children's cognitive and perceptual skills depends heavily on object exploration and experience in their physical world. For children who have severe physical impairments, one of the biggest concerns is the loss of opportunities for me...

Medical capsule robots: A renaissance for diagnostics, drug delivery and surgical treatment.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
The advancements in electronics and the progress in nanotechnology have resulted in path breaking development that will transform the way diagnosis and treatment are carried out currently. This development is Medical Capsule Robots, which has emerged...

Automated robot-assisted surgical skill evaluation: Predictive analytics approach.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Surgical skill assessment has predominantly been a subjective task. Recently, technological advances such as robot-assisted surgery have created great opportunities for objective surgical evaluation. In this paper, we introduce a predicti...

Ablation Index and Surround Flow Catheter Irrigation: Impedance-Based Appraisal in Clinical Ablation.

JACC. Clinical electrophysiology
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the impact of ablation power and catheter irrigation during clinical radiofrequency ablation using impedance drop.

Assessment of pose repeatability and specimen repositioning of a robotic joint testing platform.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper describes the quantitative assessment of a robotic testing platform, consisting of an industrial robot and a universal force-moment sensor, via the design of fixtures used to hold the tibia and femur of cadaveric knees. This platform was u...

Soft Dielectric Elastomer Oscillators Driving Bioinspired Robots.

Soft robotics
Entirely soft robots with animal-like behavior and integrated artificial nervous systems will open up totally new perspectives and applications. To produce them, we must integrate control and actuation in the same soft structure. Soft actuators (e.g....

Morphological self stabilization of locomotion gaits: illustration on a few examples from bio-inspired locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...
