Voxel-based structures provide a modular, mechanically flexible periodic lattice, which can be used as a soft robot through internal deformations. To engage these structures for robotic tasks, we use a finite element method to characterize the motion...
Image quality degradation due to subject motion confounds the precision and reproducibility of measurements of bone density, morphology and mechanical properties from high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Time-consumi...
Monitoring and tracking issues related to autonomous mobile robots are currently intensively debated in order to ensure a more fluent functionality in supply chain management. The interest arises from both theoretical and practical concerns about pro...
Modern single-particle-tracking techniques produce extensive time-series of diffusive motion in a wide variety of systems, from single-molecule motion in living-cells to movement ecology. The quest is to decipher the physical mechanisms encoded in th...
When tracking maneuvering targets, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), especially long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, are widely applied to sequentially capture the motion states of targets from observations. However, LSTMs can only extract feature...
As technology advances, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is boosting overall system efficiency and productivity. However, allowing robots to be present closely with humans will inevitably put higher demands on precise human motion tracking and predictio...
Mobile robot path planning has attracted much attention as a key technology in robotics research. In this paper, a reformative bat algorithm (RBA) for mobile robot path planning is proposed, which is employed as the control mechanism of robots. The D...

PURPOSE: We developed a deep learning (DL) model for fast deformable image registration using 2-dimensional sagittal cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquired during radiation therapy and evaluated its potential for real-time target tracking com...
Biohybrid bacteria-based microrobots are increasingly recognized as promising externally controllable vehicles for targeted cancer therapy. Magnetic fields in particular have been used as a safe means to transfer energy and direct their motion. Thus ...
