Development and Validation of the Novel Exergame-Integrated Robotic Stepper Device for Seated Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Seated rehabilitation is essential in early-stage recovery for patients who can sit but cannot stand or walk. Robotic-based lower limb rehabilitation provides precise, task-specific training for recovery, but its application in seated exercises remai...

Deep learning-assisted 10-μL single droplet-based viscometry for human aqueous humor.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Probing the viscosity of human aqueous humor is crucial for optimizing micro-tube shunts in glaucoma treatment. However, conventional viscometers are not suitable for aqueous humor due to the limited sample volume-only tens of microliters-that can be...

Reverse engineering the control law for schooling in zebrafish using virtual reality.

Science robotics
Revealing the evolved mechanisms that give rise to collective behavior is a central objective in the study of cellular and organismal systems. In addition, understanding the algorithmic basis of social interactions in a causal and quantitative way of...

Flexor Synergy Assessment and Therapy for Persons With Stroke Using the ULIX Low Impedance Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The flexor synergy after stroke results in involuntary activation of distal muscles when lifting the shoulder against gravity. This contributes to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. Robotic exoskeletons can be useful in assessing...

Hit Around: Substitutional Moving Robot for Immersive and Exertion Interaction with Encountered-Type Haptic.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
Previous works have shown the potential of immersive technologies to make physical activities a more engaging experience. With encountered-type haptic feedback, users can perceive a more realistic sensation for exertion interaction in substitutions r...

Development of a Low-Profile, Piezoelectric Robot for MR-Guided Abdominal Needle Interventions.

Annals of biomedical engineering
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive needle-based interventions are commonly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including procedures, such as biopsy, brachytherapy, and microwave ablation. Although MR-guided needle placement offers several distinct advan...

Multicontact Safety-Critical Planning and Adaptive Neural Control of a Soft Exosuit Over Different Terrains.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Many previous works on wearable soft exosuits have primarily focused on assisting human motion, while overlooking safety concerns during movement. This article introduces a novel single-motor, altering bi-directional transfer soft exosuit based on im...

Biomimetic rigid-soft finger design for highly dexterous and adaptive robotic hands.

Science advances
In dexterous robotic hand design, achieving high mobility and adaptability comparable to human hands remains an ongoing challenge. Biomimetic designs mimicking the musculoskeletal structure have shown promise yet face difficulties in preserving key k...

Biohybrid robot contracts like the human iris.

Science robotics
Patterning planar muscle layers can create biohybrid robots capable of unique and controllable muscle activity.

Reversible kink instability drives ultrafast jumping in nematodes and soft robots.

Science robotics
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) exhibit a bending-elastic instability, or kink, before becoming airborne, a feature previously hypothesized but not substantiated to enhance jumping performance. Here, we provide the evidence that this kink is crucia...
