OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the ImageJ program can be used to automatically determine the growth period of the hand and wrist which have different growth-development periods according to the density values in t...
Robotic grasping ability lags far behind human skills and poses a significant challenge in the robotics research area. According to the grasping part of an object, humans can select the appropriate grasping postures of their fingers. When humans gras...

A new concept of human-machine interface to control hand prostheses based on displacements of multiple magnets implanted in the limb residual muscles, the myokinetic control interface, has been recently proposed. In previous works, magnets localizati...
This paper focuses on the teleoperation of a robot hand on the basis of finger position recognition and grasp type estimation. For the finger position recognition, we propose a new method that fuses machine learning and high-speed image-processing te...
Upper-limb rehabilitation therapy sessions for post-stroke people generally contain rhythmic hand movements in a tiresome manner to rebuild the injured neural circuits. Fatigue formation causes breaks in the training and limits the therapy duration. ...
The performance of deep neural networks and the low costs of computational hardware has made computer vision a popular choice in many robotic systems. An attractive feature of deep-learned methods is their ability to cope with appearance changes caus...
Motor brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are a promising technology that may enable motor-impaired people to interact with their environment. BCIs would potentially compensate for arm and hand function loss, which is the top priority for individuals wi...

To date, venipuncture, the most necessary and fundamental medical means, still remains a challenging task for medical stuff due to significant individual differences in vein condition. Thanks to mature development in near-infrared (NIR) imaging techn...
Wearable devices with bimanual force feedback enable natural and cooperative manipulations within an unrestricted space. Weight and cost have a great influence on the potential applications of a haptic device. This paper presents a wearable robotic i...
Service robotics is a fast-developing sector, requiring embedded intelligence into robotic platforms to interact with the humans and the surrounding environment. One of the main challenges in the field is robust and versatile manipulation in everyday...
