Deep Learning Architecture to Assist With Steering a Powered Wheelchair.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper describes a novel Deep Learning architecture to assist with steering a powered wheelchair. A rule-based approach is utilized to train and test a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network. It is the first time a LSTM has been used for st...

Reality-Assisted Evolution of Soft Robots through Large-Scale Physical Experimentation: A Review.

Artificial life
We introduce the framework of reality-assisted evolution to summarize a growing trend towards combining model-based and model-free approaches to improve the design of physically embodied soft robots. , data-driven models build, adapt, and improve rep...

MINARO HD: control and evaluation of a handheld, highly dynamic surgical robot.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Current surgical robotic systems are either large serial arms, resulting in higher risks due to their high inertia and no inherent limitations of the working space, or they are bone-mounted, adding substantial additional task steps to the su...
