Nanorobot-Based Direct Implantation of Flexible Neural Electrode for BCI.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) has gained remarkable prominence in biomedical community. While BCI holds vast potential across diverse domains, the implantation of neural electrodes poses multifaceted challenges to fully explore the power of BCI. Con...

Extracorporeal Closed-Loop Respiratory Regulation for Patients With Respiratory Difficulty Using a Soft Bionic Robot.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Respiratory regulation is critical for patients with respiratory dysfunction. Clinically used ventilators can lead to long-term dependence and injury. Extracorporeal assistance approaches such as iron-lung devices provide a noninvasive alt...

Characterizing the Coefficient of Friction Between a Capsule Robot and the Colon.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: A capsule robot (CR) with an onboard active locomotion mechanism, has been developed as a promising alternative to colonoscopy due to its minimally-invasive advantage. Predicting the traction force and locomotion resistance of the CR, whic...

Teaching Motor Skills Without a Motor: A Semi-Passive Robot to Facilitate Learning.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Semi-passive rehabilitation robots resist and steer a patient's motion using only controllable passive force elements (e.g., controllable brakes). Contrarily, passive robots use uncontrollable passive force elements (e.g., springs), while active robo...

Social robot for at-home cognitive monitoring.

Science robotics
A socially assistive robot can administer in-home neuropsychological tests for cognitive monitoring of older adults.

Lightweight Neural Network for Sleep Posture Classification Using Pressure Sensing Mat at Various Sensor Densities.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Recently, pressure-sensing mats have been widely used to capture static and dynamic pressure over sleep for posture recognition. Both a full-size mat with a low-density sensing array for figuring out the structure of the whole body and a miniature sc...

A Novel Bilateral Underactuated Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Bimanual ADL Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a lightweight bilateral underactuated upper limb exoskeleton (UULE) designed to assist chronic stroke patients with distal joint (Elbow-Wrist) impairments during bimanual activities of daily living (ADL). The UULE aims to assist...

In-vitro blood purification using tiny pinch holographic optical tweezers based on deep learning.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
In-vitro blood purification is essential to a wide range of medical treatments, requiring fine-grained analysis and precise separation of blood components. Despite existing methods that can extract specific components from blood by size or by magneti...

MRI-compatible and sensorless haptic feedback for cable-driven medical robotics to perform teleoperated needle-based interventions.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical robotics have demonstrated their significance in assisting physicians during minimally invasive surgery. Especially, the integration of haptic and tactile feedback technologies can enhance the surgeon's performance and overall patie...

A Pneumatic Flexible Linear Actuator Inspired by Snake Swallowing.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Soft robots spark a revolution in human-machine interaction. However, developing high-performance soft actuators remains challenging due to trade-offs among output force, driving distance, control precision, safety, and compliance. Here, addressing t...
