Design and Validation of a Lower-Limb Haptic Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Present robots for investigating lower-limb motor control and rehabilitation focus on gait training. An alternative approach is to focus on restoring precursor abilities such as motor adaptation and volitional movement, as is common in upper-limb rob...

Variable Stiffness Devices Using Fiber Jamming for Application in Soft Robotics and Wearable Haptics.

Soft robotics
Variable stiffness actuation has applications in a wide range of fields, including wearable haptics, soft robots, and minimally invasive surgical devices. There have been numerous design approaches to control and tune stiffness and rigidity; however,...

Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation.

Science robotics
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....

A Novel Energy Compensation Scheme for Quality Enhancement in Time-Delayed Teleoperation With Multi-DoF Haptic Data Reduction and Communication.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Efficient and low-delay exchange of hapticinformation plays a key role for the design of high-fidelity teleoperation systems that operate over real-world communication networks. In the presence of communication unreliabilities such as delay and packe...

Cardiac X-ray image-based haptic guidance for robot-assisted coronary intervention: a feasibility study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Effective and efficient haptic guidance is desirable for tele-operated robotic surgery because it has a potential to enhance surgeon's skills, especially in coronary interventions where surgeon loses both an eye-hand coordination and a direc...

Unsupervised learning of haptic material properties.

eLife
When touching the surface of an object, its spatial structure translates into a vibration on the skin. The perceptual system evolved to translate this pattern into a representation that allows to distinguish between different materials. Here, we show...

Towards functional robotic training: motor learning of dynamic tasks is enhanced by haptic rendering but hampered by arm weight support.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Current robot-aided training allows for high-intensity training but might hamper the transfer of learned skills to real daily tasks. Many of these tasks, e.g., carrying a cup of coffee, require manipulating objects with complex dynamics. ...
