OBJECTIVE: This paper describes how non-invasive wearable sensors can be used in combination with deep learning to classify artificially induced gait alterations without the requirement for a medical professional or gait analyst to be present. This a...
Interaction control plays an important role in rehabilitation devices to ensure training safety and efficacy. Compliance adaptation of interaction is vital for enabling robot movements to better suit the patient's requirements as human joint characte...
Tactile sensing is a key enabling technology to develop complex behaviours for robots interacting with humans or the environment. This paper discusses computational aspects playing a significant role when extracting information about contact events. ...
Female anglerfishes have a lantern-shape luminous organ sprouting from the middle of their heads to lure their prey in the dark deep sea. Inspired by the anglerfish, we designed an electromagnetic anglerfish-shaped millirobot that can receive energy ...

PURPOSE: The remote medical diagnosis system (RMDS) is for providing medical diagnosis to the patients located in remote sites. To apply to RMDS and medical automation, many master-slave type ultrasound scanning robots are being developed and researc...
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery (EETS) is the standard method to treat pituitary adenoma, tumor in the pituitary gland which would affect human beings in terms of hormonal malfunction and other symptoms. This procedure provid...
Preventing biological contamination (biofouling) is key to successful development of novel surface and nanoparticle-based technologies in the manufacturing industry and biomedicine. Protein adsorption is a crucial mediator of the interactions at the ...
The improvement of the load capacity of soft grippers has always been a challenge. To tackle this load capacity challenge, this work presents four novel types of high-load (HL) soft grippers that are bioinspired by bionic winding models. The winding ...
