Robotic finger perturbation training improves finger postural steadiness and hand dexterity.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
The purpose of the study was to understand the effect of robotic finger perturbation training on steadiness in finger posture and hand dexterity in healthy young adults. A mobile robotic finger training system was designed to have the functions of hi...

Wireless intraoral tongue control of an assistive robotic arm for individuals with tetraplegia.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: For an individual with tetraplegia assistive robotic arms provide a potentially invaluable opportunity for rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of available control methods to allow these individuals to fully control the assistive arm...

Design of a new haptic device and experiments in minimally invasive surgical robot.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
In this paper, we designed a 8 degrees of freedom (DOFs) haptic device for applications in minimally invasive surgical robot. The device can provide three translational, three rotational and a grasping motion and force feedback capability. It is comp...

On neuromechanical approaches for the study of biological and robotic grasp and manipulation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Biological and robotic grasp and manipulation are undeniably similar at the level of mechanical task performance. However, their underlying fundamental biological vs. engineering mechanisms are, by definition, dramatically different and can even be a...

Context-dependent adaptation improves robustness of myoelectric control for upper-limb prostheses.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Dexterous upper-limb prostheses are available today to restore grasping, but an effective and reliable feed-forward control is still missing. The aim of this work was to improve the robustness and reliability of myoelectric control by usin...

User-Centric Feedback for the Development and Review of a Unique Robotic Glove Prototype to Be Used in Therapy.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Disability can be a great impediment to daily living in later life and is often the result of illness or trauma. Modern thoughts on treatment are orientated towards the use of robotics; however, these are often designed without consultation with the ...

Deep learning-based artificial vision for grasp classification in myoelectric hands.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Computer vision-based assistive technology solutions can revolutionise the quality of care for people with sensorimotor disorders. The goal of this work was to enable trans-radial amputees to use a simple, yet efficient, computer vision sy...

3-D-Gaze-Based Robotic Grasping Through Mimicking Human Visuomotor Function for People With Motion Impairments.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this paper is to achieve a novel 3-D-gaze-based human-robot-interaction modality, with which a user with motion impairment can intuitively express what tasks he/she wants the robot to do by directly looking at the object of int...

Compact and low-cost humanoid hand powered by nylon artificial muscles.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper focuses on design, fabrication and characterization of a biomimetic, compact, low-cost and lightweight 3D printed humanoid hand (TCP Hand) that is actuated by twisted and coiled polymeric (TCP) artificial muscles. The TCP muscles were rece...

The impact of robot-mediated adaptive I-TRAVLE training on impaired upper limb function in chronic stroke and multiple sclerosis.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The current study aimed to investigate proof-of-concept efficacy of an individualized, robot-mediated training regime for people with MS (pwMS) and stroke patients.
