OBJECTIVE: A portable back massage robot which can complete the massage operations such as tapping, kneading and rolling was designed to improve the level of intelligence and massage effect. An efficient full covered path planning algorithm was put f...
Identifying the massage techniques of the masseuse is a prerequisite for guiding robotic massage. It is difficult to recognize multiple consecutive massage maps with a time series for current human action recognition algorithms. To solve the problem,...
BACKGROUND: Manual massage (MM) interventions can improve psychophysiological states of relaxation and well-being. In this context, robotic massage (RM) represents a promising, but currently understudied, solution.
PURPOSE: Eye rubbing is considered to play a significant role in the progression of keratoconus and of corneal ectasia following refractive surgery. To our knowledge, no tool performs an objective quantitative evaluation of eye rubbing using a device...
