Individuals with spinal cord injury or neurological disorders have problems in urinary bladder storage and in voiding function. In these people, the detrusor of bladder contracts at low volume and this causes incontinence. The goal of bladder control...
High compliant legs are essential for the efficient versatile locomotion and shock absorbency of humans. This study proposes a biped robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles to mimic human locomotion. On the basis of the musculoskeletal archite...
Applications of neural machine interfaces have received increased attention during the last decades. It is crucial to realize the continuous control of prosthetic devices based on biological signals. In order to deal with the highly nonlinear relatio...
