OBJECTIVE: To develop an artificial neural network (ANN) for classification of motor unit action potential (MUAP) duration in real-word, unselected and uncleaned needle electromyography (n-EMG) recordings.
To make robots more human-like and safer to use around humans, artificial muscles exhibiting compliance have gained significant attention from researchers. However, despite having excellent performance, pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have failed...
Valid approaches for interfacing with and deciphering neural commands related to movement are critical to understanding muscular coordination and developing viable prostheses and wearable robotics. While electromyography (EMG) has been an established...
Miniaturized electrical stimulation (ES) implants show great promise in practice, but their real-time control by means of biophysical mechanistic algorithms is not feasible due to computational complexity. Here, we study the feasibility of more compu...
The central nervous system (CNS) exploits anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments to maintain the balance. The postural adjustments comprising stability of the center of mass (CoM) and the pressure distribution of the body in...

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have demonstrated promising results in estimating the neural drive to muscles, the net output of all motoneurons that innervate the muscle, using high-density electromyography (HD-EMG) for the purpose of interfacing with a...
Understanding the human motor control strategy during physical interaction tasks is crucial for developing future robots for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). In physical human-human interaction (pHHI), small interaction forces are known to co...
Artificial muscle fibers as a promising biomimetic actuator are needed for such applications as smart soft robots, muscle function restoration, and physical augmentation. Currently developed artificial muscle fibers have shown attractive performance ...
