Real-Time sEMG Processing With Spiking Neural Networks on a Low-Power 5K-LUT FPGA.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
The accurate modeling of hand movement based on the analysis of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals offers exciting opportunities for the development of complex prosthetic devices and human-machine interfaces, moving from discrete gesture recogn...

Enhancement of Functional Connectivity in Frontal-Parietal Regions After BCI-Actuated Supernumerary Robotic Finger Training.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The supernumerary robotic finger (SRF) can expand human hand abilities to achieve motor augmentation, and integrate with brain computer interface (BCI) to free the occupation of inherent body degrees of freedom. However, the neuro remodeling mechanis...

Mapping Cognitive Engagement: EEG and Graph Theory Analysis of Brain Region Involvement in Supernumerary Robotic Finger Utilization.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
As the worldwide incidence of stroke increases, supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs), more specifically supernumerary robotic fingers (SRFs), present a potentially effective solution for enhancing the task related functionality of the upper-limbs of st...

Impedance Control of a 2-DOF Spherical 5-Bar Exoskeleton for Physical Human-Robot Interaction During Rehabilitation and Assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a novel impedance controller for THINGER (THumb INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot), a 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) spherical 5-bar exoskeleton designed to augment FINGER (Finger INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot). Many rehabilitati...

Training Induced Improvement on Human Perception of the Force Feedback Provided by A Soft Robotic Glove.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Creating haptic interface by glove-based wearable robotic system has become an increasingly interested topic in the area of human robotic interaction. Many force feedback gloves are constructed based on soft actuators. However, the recent development...

Concurrent Prediction of Dexterous Finger Flexion and Extension Force via Deep Forest.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Neuromuscular injuries can impair hand function and profoundly impacting the quality of life. This has motivated the development of advanced assistive robotic hands. However, the current neural decoder systems are limited in their ability to provide ...

Accurate Continuous Prediction of 14 Degrees of Freedom of the Hand from Myoelectrical Signals through Convolutive Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Natural control of assistive devices requires continuous positional encoding and decoding of the user's volition. Human movement is encoded by recruitment and rate coding of spinal motor units. Surface electromyography provides some information on th...

Development of Surgical System Using Bellows-Type Foldable Five-Fingered Robot Hand Inserted through a 20-mm Port.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The purpose of this study was to develop a robotic hand to assist with large organs, instead of using a surgeon, in laparoscopic surgery. Grasping, pinching, and exclusion were performed by three subjects with no medical knowledge. The results indica...

Proprioceptive Gaming: Making Finger Sensation Training Intense and Engaging with the P-Pong Game and PINKIE Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Proprioceptive deficits are common after a stroke and are thought to negatively impact motor learning. Despite this, there is a lack of practical robotic devices for assessing proprioception, as well as few robotic rehabilitation techniques that inte...

High Compliance Pneumatic Actuators to Promote Finger Extension in Stroke Survivors.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Compliant pneumatic systems are well suited for wearable robotic applications. The actuators are lightweight, conformable to irregular shapes, and tolerant of uncontrolled degrees of freedom. These attributes are especially desirable for hand exoskel...
