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 ...

Every year, thousands of Americans suffer from pathological and traumatic events that result in loss of dexterity and strength of the hand. Although many supportive devices have been designed to restore functional hand movement, most are very complex...
Biological control systems have long been studied as a possible inspiration for the construction of robotic controllers. The cerebellum is known to be involved in the production and learning of smooth, coordinated movements. Therefore, highly regular...
