BACKGROUND: Recovery of hand function after stroke represents the hardest target for clinicians. Robot-assisted therapy has been proved to be effective for hand recovery. Nevertheless, studies aimed to refer patients to the best therapy are missing.
(1) Background: Three-dimensional (3-D) hand position is one of the kinematic parameters that can be inferred from Electromyography (EMG) signals. The inferred parameter is used as a communication channel in human-robot collaboration applications. Al...

BACKGROUND: Upper limb prosthetics with multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) are still mostly operated through the clinical standard Direct Control scheme. Machine learning control, on the other hand, allows controlling multiple DoFs although it requir...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether bone age (BA) of children living in Tibet Highland could be accurately assessed using a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI) system.
A method for simultaneous laser profilometer and hand-eye calibration in relation to an industrial robot as well as its implementation is presented. In contrast to other methods, the new calibration procedure requires the measurement of only one refe...

BACKGROUND: Hand rehabilitation is core to helping stroke survivors regain activities of daily living. Recent studies have suggested that the use of electroencephalography-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can promote this process. Here, we repor...
Bone age assessments are a complicated and lengthy process, which are prone to inter- and intra-observer variabilities. Despite the great demand for fully automated systems, developing an accurate and robust bone age assessment solution has remained ...
