Research on control strategies for rehabilitation robots has gradually shifted from providing therapies with fixed, relatively stiff assistance to compelling alternatives with assistance or challenge strategies to maximize subject participation. Thes...
Quantitative behavioral measurements are important for answering questions across scientific disciplines-from neuroscience to ecology. State-of-the-art deep-learning methods offer major advances in data quality and detail by allowing researchers to a...
Quadrupeds achieve rapid and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts such as their trunk, head, and tail, i.e. body-limb coordination. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism underlying ...
The bodies of earthworms are composed of repeating deformable structural units, called metameres, that generate the peristaltic body motions required for limbless underground burrowing and above-ground crawling. Metameres are actuated by circular and...
The centralization of locomotor control from weak and local coupling to strong and global is hard to assess outside of particular modeling frameworks. We developed an empirical, model-free measure of centralization that compares information between c...

Locomotion mode recognition across multiple sessions and days is an indispensable step towards the practical use of the robotic transtibial prosthesis. In this study, we proposed an adaptive recognition strategy to against the time-varying features o...
Human age estimation is an important and difficult challenge. Different biomarkers and numerous approaches have been studied for biological age estimation, each with its advantages and limitations. In this work, we investigate whether physical activi...
This paper introduces a new multi-modal robot capable of terrestrial and aerial locomotion, aiming to operate in a wider range of environments. The robot was built to achieve two locomotion modes of walking and gliding while preventing one modality h...
