As robots become increasingly integrated into human society, the importance of human-machine interfaces continues to grow. This study proposes a faster and more accurate control system for myoelectric prostheses by considering the Electromechanical D...
The human microbiome, the community of microorganisms that reside on and inside the human body, is critically important for health and disease. However, it is influenced by various factors and may vary among individuals residing in distinct geographi...
This paper introduces the Spatio-Temporal Cross Network (STCNet), a novel deep learning architecture tailored for robust hand gesture recognition in surface electromyography (sEMG) across multiple subjects. We address the challenges associated with t...
Despite the advances in bionic reconstruction of missing limbs, the control of robotic limbs is still limited and, in most cases, not felt to be as natural by users. In this study, we introduce a control approach that combines robotic design based on...
For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we chall...

Due to the rapid evolution of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications on patient education, there is a pressing need to evaluate AI responses to patients' medical questions. This study assessed the quality and usability of respo...
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition associated with joint damage, the incidence of which is increasing worldwide. In severe cases, arthritis can result in the restriction of joint movement, thereby affecting daily activities; as such, early and ac...
Cultured muscle tissue serves as a power source in biohybrid robots that demonstrate diverse motions. However, current designs typically only drive simple substrates on a small scale, limiting flexibility and controllability. To address this, we prop...

Estimating 3D hand poses from monocular RGB images presents a series of challenges, including complex hand structures, self-occlusions, and depth ambiguities. Existing methods often fall short of capturing the long-distance dependencies of skeletal a...
