Complex manipulation with a simple robotic hand through contact breaking and caging.

Science robotics
Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In this work, we leveraged a potential energy-based whole-hand manipulation model, which does n...

The effects of robot-assisted left-hand training on hemispatial neglect in older patients with chronic stroke: A pilot and randomized controlled trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: Even though a variety of rehabilitative technique have been implemented to ameliorate neglect symptoms of patients with stoke, the effects of limb activation using a robotic device are still unknown. The purpose of this study was to inves...

Soft magnetic skin for super-resolution tactile sensing with force self-decoupling.

Science robotics
Human skin can sense subtle changes of both normal and shear forces (i.e., self-decoupled) and perceive stimuli with finer resolution than the average spacing between mechanoreceptors (i.e., super-resolved). By contrast, existing tactile sensors for ...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation on Hand Function of People With Stroke: A Randomized, Crossover-Controlled, Assessor-Blinded Study.

The American journal of occupational therapy : official publication of the American Occupational Therapy Association
IMPORTANCE: The effects of robot-assisted task-oriented training with tangible objects among patients with stroke remain unknown.

A flexible self-recovery finger joint for a tendon-driven robot hand.

The Review of scientific instruments
This paper presents a new biomimetic soft finger joint with elastic ligaments for enhanced restoration capability. A hemisphere-shaped flexible finger joint is designed to secure omnidirectional restoration and guarantee a reliable recovery function....

Rapid tissue oxygenation mapping from snapshot structured-light images with adversarial deep learning.

Journal of biomedical optics
SIGNIFICANCE: Spatial frequency-domain imaging (SFDI) is a powerful technique for mapping tissue oxygen saturation over a wide field of view. However, current SFDI methods either require a sequence of several images with different illumination patter...

Noise Exposure on Human Cochlea During Cochleostomy Formation Using Conventional and a Hand Guided Robotic Drill.

Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the disturbance induced in the cochlea during cochleostomy using conventional drill and a hand guided robotic drill.

iRebot: An Interactive Rehabilitation Robot with Gesture Control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Physical therapy efficacy relies on patient compliance and motivation. However, the monotony, intensity, and expense of most therapy routines do not promote engagement. Technology-based rehabilitation has the potential to provide engaging and cost-ef...

Developing a hybrid soft mechanism for assisting individualized flexion and extension of finger joints.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Various robotic devices have been developed for home rehabilitation and support of therapists. Special attention has been focused on soft actuators due to their high viscoelasticity and flexibility, which can contribute to the safety and affinity wit...
