Design and evaluation of a deformable wing configuration for economical hovering flight of an insect-like tailless flying robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Studies on wing kinematics indicate that flapping insect wings operate at higher angles of attack (AoAs) than conventional rotary wings. Thus, effectively flying an insect-like flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) requires appropriate wing design...

Spine morphology and energetics: how principles from nature apply to robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the locomotive advantages that an articulated spine enables in quadrupedal animals, we explore and quantify the energetic effect that an articulated spine has in legged robots. We compare two model instances of a conceptual planar quadrup...

Tissue classification and segmentation of pressure injuries using convolutional neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This paper presents a new approach for automatic tissue classification in pressure injuries. These wounds are localized skin damages which need frequent diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, a reliable and accurate systems fo...

Labeling for Big Data in radiation oncology: The Radiation Oncology Structures ontology.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Leveraging Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Oncology Information Systems (OIS) has great potential to generate hypotheses for cancer treatment, since they directly provide medical data on a large scale. In order to gather a significant am...

Master-slave robotic system for needle indentation and insertion.

Computer assisted surgery (Abingdon, England)
Bilateral control of a master-slave robotic system is a challenging issue in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. It requires the knowledge on contact interaction between a surgical (slave) robot and soft tissues. This paper presents a master...

Deep reconstruction model for dynamic PET images.

PloS one
Accurate and robust tomographic reconstruction from dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) acquired data is a difficult problem. Conventional methods, such as the maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) algorithm for reconstructing the...

Fuzzy Object Skeletonization: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
Skeletonization offers a compact representation of an object while preserving important topological and geometrical features. Literature on skeletonization of binary objects is quite mature. However, challenges involved with skeletonization of fuzzy ...

Morphological self stabilization of locomotion gaits: illustration on a few examples from bio-inspired locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...

Research of the master-slave robot surgical system with the function of force feedback.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Surgical robots lack force feedback, which may lead to operation errors. In order to improve surgical outcomes, this research developed a new master-slave surgical robot, which was designed with an integrated force sensor.

Predictive Behavior of a Computational Foot/Ankle Model through Artificial Neural Networks.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Computational models are useful tools to study the biomechanics of human joints. Their predictive performance is heavily dependent on bony anatomy and soft tissue properties. Imaging data provides anatomical requirements while approximate tissue prop...
