Policy gradient optimization of controllers for natural dynamic mono-pedal gait.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We have previously suggested a biologically-inspired natural dynamic controller for biped locomotion, which applies torque pulses to the different joints at particular phases of an internal phase variable. The parameters of the controller, including ...

Ratchet-integrated pneumatic actuator (RIPA): a large-stroke soft linear actuator inspired by sarcomere muscle contraction.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have a wide range of robotics applications, especially in soft robots, for their ability to generate linear force and displacement with the soft, lightweight, compact, and safe characteristics as well as high power...

Development of a biomimetic scallop robot capable of jet propulsion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by a scallop's strong underwater propulsion mechanism, we designed and prototyped a scallop robot capable of clapping and swimming. In this work, an artificial velum was used to work as a check valve to stimulate the robot's swimming. A coup...

Taking inspiration from climbing plants: methodologies and benchmarks-a review.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
One of the major challenges in robotics and engineering is to develop efficient technological solutions that are able to cope with complex environments and unpredictable constraints. Taking inspiration from natural organisms is a well-known approach ...

Bioinspired pursuit with a swimming robot using feedback control of an internal rotor.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Theoretical guarantees of capture become complicated in the case of a swimming fish or fish robot because of the oscillatory nature of the fish heading. Building on the connection between a swimming fish and the canonical Chaplygin sleigh, a novel st...

A biarticular passive exosuit to support balance control can reduce metabolic cost of walking.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nowadays, the focus on the development of assistive devices just for people with mobility disorders has shifted towards enhancing physical abilities of able-bodied humans. As a result, the interest in the design of cheap and soft wearable exoskeleton...

A proposed soft pneumatic actuator control based on angle estimation from data-driven model.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This article proposes a bending angle controller for soft pneumatic actuators, which could be implemented in soft robotic rehabilitation gloves to assist patients with hand impairment, such as stroke survivors. A data-driven model is used to estimate...

Non-Standardized Patch-Based ECG Lead Together With Deep Learning Based Algorithm for Automatic Screening of Atrial Fibrillation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
This study was to assess the feasibility of using non-standardized single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring to automatically detect atrial fibrillation (AF) with special emphasis on the combination of deep learning based algorithm and modified ...

Human respiration monitoring using infrared thermography and artificial intelligence.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
The respiration rate (RR) is the most vital parameter used for the determination of human health. The most widely adopted techniques, used to monitor the RR are contact in nature and face many drawbacks. This paper reports the use of Infrared Thermog...

Portable deep learning singlet microscope.

Journal of biophotonics
Having the least lenses, the significant feature of the singlet imaging system, helps the development of the portable and cost-effective microscopes. A novel method of monochromatic/color singlet microscopy, which is combined with only one aspheric l...
