BACKGROUND: No data exist on comparisons of efficacy, safety, and recurrence risk factors of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using robotic magnetic navigation system (MNS), respectively.
By controlling robots comparable to the human body, people with profound motor deficits could potentially perform a variety of physical tasks for themselves, improving their quality of life. The extent to which this is achievable has been unclear due...
Jumping insects such as fleas, froghoppers, grasshoppers, and locusts take off from the ground using a catapult mechanism to push their legs against the surface of the ground while using their pairs of flapping wings to propel them into the air. Such...

The authors present a Recurrent Neural Network classifier model that segments the walking data recorded with instrumented footwear. The signals from 3 piezoresistive sensors, a 3-axis accelerometer, and Euler angles are used to generate temporal gait...
We present a deep learning framework based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) to perform super-resolution in coherent imaging systems. We demonstrate that this framework can enhance the resolution of both pixel size-limited and diffraction-lim...
Compared with rigid grippers, soft grippers show fantastic adaptability and flexibility in grasping irregularly shaped and fragile objects. However, the low stiffness of the soft actuator limits the scope of applications. Particle jamming has emerged...

OBJECTIVE: The complex nature of Parkinson's disease (PD) makes difficult to rate its severity, mainly based on the visual inspection of motor impairments. Wearable sensors have been demonstrated to help overcoming such a difficulty, by providing obj...
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a powerful, noninvasive tool that provides a high temporal resolution to directly reflect brain activities. Conventional electrodes require skin preparation and the use of conductive gels, while subjects must wear unco...
