Worm-Like Soft Robot for Complicated Tubular Environments.

Soft robotics
This article describes a worm-like soft robot capable of operating in complicated tubular environments, such as the complex pipeline with different diameters, water, oil, and gas environments, or the clinical application in natural orifice translumin...

Brain-Machine Interface-Based Rat-Robot Behavior Control.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Brain-machine interface (BMI) provides a bidirectional pathway between the brain and external facilities. The machine-to-brain pathway makes it possible to send artificial information back into the biological brain, interfering neural activities and ...

Cyborg Insects Could Someday Save Your Life.

IEEE pulse
A tiny cockroach no bigger than a large paper clip scurries across the floor of my bio-engineering lab at the University of Connecticut, Mansfield, CT, USA. It is a robot-roach hybrid, a hardwired biological insect, a cyborg if you will, and its futu...

Comparative Effects of Different Assistance Force During Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Locomotor Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke: An Assessor-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force controlled robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional physiotherapy on locomotor functions in patients with ...

Sensory Feedback and Animal Locomotion: Perspectives from Biology and Biorobotics: An Introduction to the Symposium.

Integrative and comparative biology
The successful completion of many behaviors relies on sensory feedback. This symposium brought together researchers using novel techniques to study how different stimuli are encoded, how and where multimodal feedback is integrated, and how feedback m...

Real-Time On-Board Recognition of Continuous Locomotion Modes for Amputees With Robotic Transtibial Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Human intent recognition is important to the control of robotic prosthesis. In this paper, we propose a multi-level real-time on-board system to recognize continuous locomotion modes. A cascaded classification strategy is designed for the recognition...

Feasibility of Synergy-Based Exoskeleton Robot Control in Hemiplegia.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Here, we present a study on exoskeleton robot control based on inter-limb locomotor synergies using a robot control method developed to target hemiparesis. The robot control is based on inter-limb locomotor synergies and kinesiological information fr...

Slow Versus Fast Robot-Assisted Locomotor Training After Severe Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Robot-assisted locomotor training on a bodyweight-supported treadmill is a rehabilitation intervention that compels repetitive practice of gait movements. Standard treadmill speed may elicit rhythmic movements generated primar...
