We aimed to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted markerless motion capture software is useful in the clinical medicine and rehabilitation fields. Currently, it is unclear whether the AI-assisted markerless method can be applied to ...
: Although there is a need for rehabilitation treatment with the increase in the aging population, the shortage of skilled physicians frustrates this necessity. Robotic technology has been advocated as one of the most viable methods with the potentia...
Using standard digital cameras in combination with deep learning (DL) for pose estimation is promising for the in-home and independent use of exercise games (exergames). We need to investigate to what extent such DL-based systems can provide satisfyi...
The aim of this study was to develop a deep neural network for respiratory motion compensation in free-breathing cine MRI and evaluate its performance. An adversarial autoencoder network was trained using unpaired training data from healthy volunteer...
Segmenting anatomical structures in medical images has been successfully addressed with deep learning methods for a range of applications. However, this success is heavily dependent on the quality of the image that is being segmented. A commonly negl...

BACKGROUND: Studies have been conducted on slave-specific master devices with a similar kinematic structure to the slave to enhance intuitiveness. However, for the four-degrees of freedom (DOFs) slave of a flexible endoscopic surgery robot, only four...
Temporal correlation in dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), such as cardiac MRI, is informative and important to understand motion mechanisms of body regions. Modeling such information into the MRI reconstruction process produces temporally coh...
Soft machines are a promising design paradigm for human-centric devices and systems required to interact gently with their environment. To enable soft machines to respond intelligently to their surroundings, compliant sensory feedback mechanisms are ...
In recent years, wearable sensors have become common, with possible applications in biomechanical monitoring, sports and fitness training, rehabilitation, assistive devices, or human-computer interaction. Our goal was to achieve accurate kinematics e...
