Gain determination of feedback force for an ultrasound scanning robot using genetic algorithm.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
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...

A Single Session of Robot-Controlled Proprioceptive Training Modulates Functional Connectivity of Sensory Motor Networks and Improves Reaching Accuracy in Chronic Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Passive robot-generated arm movements in conjunction with proprioceptive decision making and feedback modulate functional connectivity (FC) in sensory motor networks and improve sensorimotor adaptation in normal individuals. This proof-of...

Robotic interfaces for cognitive psychology and embodiment research: A research roadmap.

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science
Advanced human-machine interfaces render robotic devices applicable to study and enhance human cognition. This turns robots into formidable neuroscientific tools to study processes such as the adaptation between a human operator and the operated robo...

Optimal trajectory generation for time-to-contact based aerial robotic perching.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many biological organisms (e.g. insects, birds, and mammals) rely on the perception of an informational variable called time-to-contact (TTC) to control their motion for various tasks such as avoiding obstacles, landing, or interception. TTC, defined...

Improving internal model strength and performance of prosthetic hands using augmented feedback.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The loss of an arm presents a substantial challenge for upper limb amputees when performing activities of daily living. Myoelectric prosthetic devices partially replace lost hand functions; however, lack of sensory feedback and strong und...

Discovering space - Grounding spatial topology and metric regularity in a naive agent's sensorimotor experience.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
In line with the sensorimotor contingency theory, we investigate the problem of the perception of space from a fundamental sensorimotor perspective. Despite its pervasive nature in our perception of the world, the origin of the concept of space remai...

Grip Stabilization of Novel Objects Using Slip Prediction.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Controlling contact with arbitrary, unknown objects defines a fundamental problem for robotic grasping and in-hand manipulation. In real-world scenarios, where robots interact with a variety of objects, the sheer number of possible contact interactio...

HapPro: A Wearable Haptic Device for Proprioceptive Feedback.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Myoelectric hand prostheses have reached a considerable technological level and gained an increasing attention in assistive robotics. However, their abandonment rate remains high, with unintuitive control and lack of sensory feedback being...

Robotics-inspired biology.

The Journal of experimental biology
For centuries, designers and engineers have looked to biology for inspiration. Biologically inspired robots are just one example of the application of knowledge of the natural world to engineering problems. However, recent work by biologists and inte...

Sustained sensorimotor control as intermittent decisions about prediction errors: computational framework and application to ground vehicle steering.

Biological cybernetics
A conceptual and computational framework is proposed for modelling of human sensorimotor control and is exemplified for the sensorimotor task of steering a car. The framework emphasises control intermittency and extends on existing models by suggesti...
