In order to better perform rehabilitation training on the ankle joint complex in the direction of dorsiflexion/plantarflexion and inversion/eversion, especially when performing the isokinetic muscle strength exercise, we need to calibrate the kinemat...
Inspired by the fastest observed live fishes, we have designed, built and tested a robotic fish that emulates the fast-start maneuver of these fishes and generates acceleration and velocity magnitudes comparable to those of the live fishes within the...

In this paper, an improved recurrent neural network (RNN) scheme is proposed to perform the trajectory control of redundant robot manipulators using remote center of motion (RCM) constraints. Firstly, learning by demonstration is implemented to model...
This research presents a control structure for an omni-wheel mobile robot (OWMR). The control structure includes the path planning module and the motion control module. In order to secure the robustness and fast control performance required in the op...
Continuum robot arms, with their hyper-redundant continuously deformable bodies, show great promise in applications deemed impossible for traditional rigid robot arms with discrete links and joints, such as navigating tight corners without getting st...
In this analysis, we present results from measurements performed to determine the stability of a hand tracking system and the accuracy of the detected palm and finger's position. Measurements were performed for the evaluation of the sensor for an app...
Improving the quality of image-guided radiation therapy requires the tracking of respiratory motion in ultrasound sequences. However, the low signal-to-noise ratio and the artifacts in ultrasound images make it difficult to track targets accurately a...
We observe that the Atlantic razor clam (Ensis directus) burrows out of sand rapidly by simply extending and contracting its muscular foot. This is notably different from its well-known downward burrowing strategy or the dual-anchor mechanism, where ...
The role of mobile robots for cleaning and sanitation purposes is increasing worldwide. Disinfection and hygiene are two integral parts of any safe indoor environment, and these factors become more critical in COVID-19-like pandemic situations. Door ...
Various actuators (e.g., pneumatics, cables, dielectric elastomers, etc.) have been utilized to actuate soft robots. Besides widely used actuators, a relatively new artificial muscle-twisted-and-coiled actuators (TCAs)-is promising for actuating cent...
