PSO-SVM-Based Online Locomotion Mode Identification for Rehabilitation Robotic Exoskeletons.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Locomotion mode identification is essential for the control of a robotic rehabilitation exoskeletons. This paper proposes an online support vector machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) to identify different locomotion modes to ...

Development of a bio-inspired transformable robotic fin.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Fish swim by oscillating their pectoral fins forwards and backwards in a cyclic motion such that their geometric parameters and aspect ratios change according to how fast or slow a fish wants to swim; these complex motions result in a complicated hyd...

Human-like compliant locomotion: state of the art of robotic implementations.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This review paper provides a synthetic yet critical overview of the key biomechanical principles of human bipedal walking and their current implementation in robotic platforms. We describe the functional role of human joints, addressing in particular...

Theoretical and experimental study on a compliant flipper-leg during terrestrial locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
An amphibious robot with straight compliant flipper-legs can conquer various amphibious environments. The robot can rotate its flipper-legs and utilize their large deflection to walk on rough terrain, and it can oscillate the straight flipper-legs to...

The evaluation of i-SIDRA - a tool for intelligent feedback - in a course on the anatomy of the locomotor system.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: This paper presents an empirical study of a formative mobile-based assessment approach that can be used to provide students with intelligent diagnostic feedback to test its educational effectiveness.

Single actuator wave-like robot (SAW): design, modeling, and experiments.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, we present a single actuator wave-like robot, a novel bioinspired robot which can move forward or backward by producing a continuously advancing wave. The robot has a unique minimalistic mechanical design and produces an advancing sine...

A new biarticular actuator design facilitates control of leg function in BioBiped3.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bioinspired legged locomotion comprises different aspects, such as (i) benefiting from reduced complexity control approaches as observed in humans/animals, (ii) combining embodiment with the controllers and (iii) reflecting neural control mechanisms....

Quadrupedal Robot Locomotion: A Biologically Inspired Approach and Its Hardware Implementation.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
A bioinspired locomotion system for a quadruped robot is presented. Locomotion is achieved by a spiking neural network (SNN) that acts as a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) producing different locomotion patterns represented by their raster plots. To ...

Adaptive Shape Kernel-Based Mean Shift Tracker in Robot Vision System.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
This paper proposes an adaptive shape kernel-based mean shift tracker using a single static camera for the robot vision system. The question that we address in this paper is how to construct such a kernel shape that is adaptive to the object shape. W...

Effect of actuating cell source on locomotion of organic living machines with electrocompacted collagen skeleton.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In robotics, there is a need for small scale, compliant actuators for use in medical applications or minimally invasive environmental monitoring. Biohybrid devices offer one solution to this need by using muscle cells to actuate compliant scaffolds. ...
