Mechanical Gripper Design and Force Analysis of Microplates for Automated High-Throughput Nucleic Acid Detection System.

Journal of nanoscience and nanotechnology
In the automated high-throughput nucleic acid detection system, we need to grip and transfer consumables frequently when carrying out multichannel nucleic acid detection. In order to ensure the efficiency of experiments and solve problems of the defl...

Machine Learning based Physical Human-Robot Interaction for Walking Support of Frail People.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In the near future robots will permeate our daily life empowering human beings in several activities of daily living. Particular, service robots could actively support indoor mobility tasks thus to enhance the independent living of citizens. They sho...

Development of Cybernic Robot Arm to realize Support Action cooperated with Hemiplegic Person's Arm.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Hemiplegics have difficulty conducting various daily tasks because they must perform such tasks using only their unaffected arm. If a robot arm that can replace their missing upper-limb function is made available, it will greatly contribute to an imp...

A Control Architecture for Grasp Strength Regulation in Myocontrolled Robotic Hands Using Vibrotactile Feedback: Preliminary Results.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Nowadays, electric-powered hand prostheses do not provide adequate sensory instrumentation and artificial feedback to allow users voluntarily and finely modulate the grasp strength applied to the objects. In this work, the design of a control archite...

Design of a 3D Printed Soft Robotic Hand for Stroke Rehabilitation and Daily Activities Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present the new personalized 3D printed soft robotic hand for providing rehabilitation training and daily activities assistance to stroke survivors. The Soft-Elastic Composite Actuator (SECA) on the robotic hand is direct 3D printed...

Quantifying upper extremity performance with and without assistance of a soft-robotic glove in elderly patients: A kinematic analysis.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To explore the direct influence of a soft-robotic glove on movement duration and movement execution in elderly people with decreased hand function during a reach-and-grasp task.

A force augmenting exoskeleton for the human hand designed for pinching and grasping.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Almost 1 million Americans suffer from debilitative disorders or injuries to the hand, which result in decreased grip strength and/or impaired ability to hold objects. The objective of this study was to design and test the functioning of a fivedigit ...

Fuzzy logic-based mobile computing system for hand rehabilitation after neurological injury.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Effective neurological rehabilitation requires long term assessment and treatment. The rapid progress of virtual reality-based assistive technologies and tele-rehabilitation has increased the potential for self-rehabilitation of various n...

Robotic Hand-Assisted Training for Spinal Cord Injury Driven by Myoelectric Pattern Recognition: A Case Report.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
A 51-year-old man with an incomplete C6 spinal cord injury sustained 26 yrs ago attended twenty 2-hr visits over 10 wks for robot-assisted hand training driven by myoelectric pattern recognition. In each visit, his right hand was assisted to perform ...
