Towards high-performance deep learning architecture and hardware accelerator design for robust analysis in diffuse correlation spectroscopy.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
This study proposes a compact deep learning (DL) architecture and a highly parallelized computing hardware platform to reconstruct the blood flow index (BFi) in diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS). We leveraged a rigorous analytical model to gener...

Combining Fiber Bragg Grating and Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Supporting Epidural Procedures.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Loss of resistance (LOR) is a widely accepted method for performing epidural punctures in clinical settings. However, the risk of failure associated with LOR is still high. Solutions based either on Fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBG) or on ...

Research on anti-swing control system of slewing crane based on fuzzy PID.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The slewing crane is easily affected by the wind and the manipulation level of the operator when it is working, which in turn impacts its swing angle, affects the working efficiency and safety of the crane.

A Systematic Review on Rigid Exoskeleton Robot Design for Wearing Comfort: Joint Self-Alignment, Attachment Interface, and Structure Customization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Exoskeleton robots enable individuals with impaired physical functions to perform daily activities and maintain independence. However, the discomfort experienced by users when using these devices may limit the application scope of exoskeleton robots....

Bio-inspired circular soft actuators for simulating defecation process of human rectum.

Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs
Soft robots have found extensive applications in the medical field, particularly in rehabilitation exercises, assisted grasping, and artificial organs. Despite significant advancements in simulating various components of the digestive system, the rec...

A Biomimetic Adhesive Disc for Robotic Adhesion Sliding Inspired by the Net-Winged Midge Larva.

Soft robotics
Net-winged midge larvae (Blephariceridae) are known for their remarkable ability to adhere to and crawl on the slippery surfaces of rocks in fast-flowing and turbulent alpine streams, waterfalls, and rivers. This remarkable performance can be attribu...

Activation of a Soft Robotic Left Ventricular Phantom Embedded in a Closed-Loop Cardiovascular Simulator: A Computational and Experimental Analysis.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: Cardiovascular simulators are used in the preclinical testing phase of medical devices. Their reliability increases the more they resemble clinically relevant scenarios. In this study, a physiologically actuated soft robotic left ventricle (...

An intuitive guidewire control mechanism for robotic intervention.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Teleoperated Interventional Robotic systems (TIRs) are developed to reduce radiation exposure and physical stress of the physicians and enhance device manipulation accuracy and stability. Nevertheless, TIRs are not widely adopted, partly due...

Quantitative in-vitro assessment of a novel robot-assisted system for cochlear implant electrode insertion.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: As an increasing number of cochlear implant candidates exhibit residual inner ear function, hearing preservation strategies during implant insertion are gaining importance. Manual implantation is known to induce traumatic force and pressure ...

Improved Assistive Profile Tracking of Exosuit by Considering Adaptive Stiffness Model and Body Movement.

Soft robotics
Wearable robots have been developed to assist the physical performance of humans. Specifically, exosuits have attracted attention due to their lightweight and soft nature, which facilitate user movement. Although several types of force controllers ha...
