Measurement of Contact Behavior Including Slippage of Cuff When Using Wearable Physical Assistant Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Aug 11, 2015
Continuous use of wearable robots can cause skin injuries beneath the cuffs of robots. To prevent such injuries, understanding the contact behavior of the cuff is important. Thus far, this contact behavior has not been studied because of the difficul...

The Influence of Mechanical Rubbing on the Dissolution of Blood Clots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Jul 1, 2018
Mechanical rubbing of blood clots is a potential minimally-invasive method for clearing clogged blood vessels. In this work, we investigate the influence of the interaction of the tip of a helical robot with blood clots. This interaction enables the ...

Importance of Matching Physical Friction, Hardness, and Texture in Creating Realistic Haptic Virtual Surfaces.

IEEE transactions on haptics Jan 1, 2017
Interacting with physical objects through a tool elicits tactile and kinesthetic sensations that comprise your haptic impression of the object. These cues, however, are largely missing from interactions with virtual objects, yielding an unrealistic u...

Flexible sliding frame for gait enhancing mechatronic system (GEMS).

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Aug 1, 2016
This paper presents a novel flexible sliding thigh frame for a gait enhancing mechatronic system. With its two-layered unique structure, the frame is flexible in certain locations and directions, and stiff at certain other locations, so that it can f...
