The Effect of Using a Rehabilitation Robot for Patients with Post-Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Fatigue Syndrome.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of traditional neurological rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation combined with a rehabilitation robot for patients with post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome. Eighty-six participants transferr...

Grasping detection of dual manipulators based on Markov decision process with neural network.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
With the development of artificial intelligence, robots are widely used in various fields, grasping detection has been the focus of intelligent robot research. A dual manipulator grasping detection model based on Markov decision process is proposed t...

A Soft Hand Exoskeleton With a Novel Tendon Layout to Improve Stable Wearing in Grasping Assistance.

IEEE transactions on haptics
We present a novel soft exoskeleton providing active support for hand closing and opening. The main novelty is a different tendon routing, folded laterally on both sides of the hand, and adding clenching forces when the exoskeleton is activated. It i...

ReachingBot: An automated and scalable benchtop device for highly parallel Single Pellet Reach-and-Grasp training and assessment in mice.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: The single pellet reaching and grasp (SPRG) task is a behavioural assay widely used to study motor learning, control and recovery after nervous system injury in animals. The manual training and assessment of the SPRG is labour intensive a...

(MARGOT) Monocular Camera-Based Robot Grasping Strategy for Metallic Objects.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robotic handling of objects is not always a trivial assignment, even in teleoperation where, in most cases, this might lead to stressful labor for operators. To reduce the task difficulty, supervised motions could be performed in safe scenarios to re...

Versatile end effector for laparoscopic robotic scrub nurse.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Integrating robotic scrub nurses in the operating room has the potential to help overcome staff shortages and limited use of available operating capacities in hospitals. Existing approaches of robotic scrub nurses are mainly focused on open ...

Estimation of Contact Regions Between Hands and Objects During Human Multi-Digit Grasping.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
To grasp an object successfully, we must select appropriate contact regions for our hands on the surface of the object. However, identifying such regions is challenging. This paper describes a workflow to estimate the contact regions from marker-base...

Treatment of the Paretic Hand with a Robotic Glove Combined with Physiotherapy in a Patient Suffering from Traumatic Tetraparesis: A Case Report.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: cervical spinal cord injury leads to loss of upper limb functionality, which causes a decrease in autonomy to perform activities of daily living. The use of robotic technologies in rehabilitation could contribute to improving upper limb f...

A Passively Conforming Soft Robotic Gripper with Three-Dimensional Negative Bending Stiffness Fingers.

Soft robotics
Robot grippers that lack physical compliance have a difficult time dealing with uncertainty, such as fragile objects that may not have well-defined shapes. Existing soft robotic grippers require a large empty workspace for their actuated fingers to c...

Towards Living Machines: current and future trends of tactile sensing, grasping, and social robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The development of future technologies can be highly influenced by our deeper understanding of the principles that underlie living organisms. The Living Machines conference aims at presenting (among others) the interdisciplinary work of behaving syst...
