To enable on-time and high-fidelity lower-limb exoskeleton control, it is effective to predict the future human motion from the observed status. In this research, we propose a novel method to predict future plantar force during the gait using IMU and...

Sitting posture recognition can be used to evaluate the awareness of a person carrying out a task, such as working or driving, and can aid in avoiding accidents or other health risks, such as musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, sitting posture ca...
Air valve failure can cause air accumulation and result in a loss of carrying capacity, pipe vibration and even in some situations a catastrophic failure of water transmission pipelines. Air is most likely to accumulate in downward sloping pipes, lea...
Tactile sensing is the current challenge in robotics and object manipulation by machines. The robot's agile interaction with the environment requires pressure sensors to detect not only location and value, but also touch direction. The paper presents...

Inspired by the human somatosensory system, pressure applied to multiple pressure sensors is received in parallel and combined into a representative signal pattern, which is subsequently processed using machine learning. The pressure signals are comb...
Electronic skin (e-skin), which is an electronic surrogate of human skin, aims to recreate the multifunctionality of skin by using sensing units to detect multiple stimuli, while keeping key features of skin such as low thickness, stretchability, fle...
Soft actuators, as an important part of soft robotics, have attracted significant attention due to their inherent compliance, flexibility and safety. However, low capacity in force and load limits their applications. Prestored elastic energy can impr...

Electronic skins are essential for real-time health monitoring and tactile perception in robots. Although the use of soft elastomers and microstructures have improved the sensitivity and pressure-sensing range of tactile sensors, the intrinsic viscoe...
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to study foot biomechanics and pathological functions or effects of therapeutic solutions. However, development and analysis of such foot modeling is complex and time-consuming. The purpose of this s...
