People suffering from neuromuscular disorders are one of the main target groups of speech-controlled Ambient Assisted Living systems. However, the speech of these patients is often distorted because of the dysarthric symptoms of the disease. The dysa...
In this study, a mechanical model was developed, aiming to provide standardized and programmable traditional Thai massage (TTM) therapy to patients. The TTM was modeled and integrated into a mechanical hand (MH) system, and a prototype massage chair ...
This paper reports the design and development of a novel millimeter-sized robotic system for targeted therapy. The proposed medical robot is conceived to perform therapy in relatively small diameter body canals (spine, urinary system, ovary, etc.), a...
