Online sparse Gaussian process based human motion intent learning for an electrically actuated lower extremity exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The most important step for lower extremity exoskeleton is to infer human motion intent (HMI), which contributes to achieve human exoskeleton collaboration. Since the user is in the control loop, the relationship between human robot interaction (HRI)...

Fundamentals of soft robot locomotion.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Soft robotics and its related technologies enable robot abilities in several robotics domains including, but not exclusively related to, manipulation, manufacturing, human-robot interaction and locomotion. Although field applications have emerged for...

Development of a Robotic System for Enhancing Children's Motivation in Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT).

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents a novel robotic system, which aims to enhance children's motivation through the gamification of the CIMT process. The system offers adjustability of the required movement skills, ensuring children will put increasingly more effort...

Muscle co-contraction patterns in robot-mediated force field learning to guide specific muscle group training.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Muscle co-contraction is a strategy of increasing movement accuracy and stability employed in dealing with force perturbation of movement. It is often seen in neuropathological populations. The direction of movement influences the pattern...

Pediatric robotic rehabilitation: Current knowledge and future trends in treating children with sensorimotor impairments.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-aided sensorimotor therapy imposes highly repetitive tasks that can translate to substantial improvement when patients remain cognitively engaged into the clinical procedure, a goal that most children find hard to pursue. Knowing th...

The potential of iRest in measuring the hand function performance of stroke patients.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
BACKGROUND: Clinical scales such as Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) are widely used to evaluate stroke patient's motor performance. However, there are several limitations with these assessment scales such as subjectivity,...

Modeling Movement Primitives with Hidden Markov Models for Robotic and Biomedical Applications.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Movement primitives are elementary motion units and can be combined sequentially or simultaneously to compose more complex movement sequences. A movement primitive timeseries consist of a sequence of motion phases. This progression through a set of m...

Modeling and performance evaluation of a robotic treatment couch for tumor tracking.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Tumor motion during radiation therapy increases the irradiation of healthy tissue. However, this problem may be mitigated by moving the patient via the treatment couch such that the tumor motion relative to the beam is minimized. The treatment couch ...
