This paper presents a review of biological mechanical linkage mechanisms. One purpose is to identify the range of kinematic functions that they are able to perform. A second purpose is to review progress in bioinspired designs. Ten different linkage ...
Neurorobotic augmentation (e.g., robotic assist) is now in regular use to support individuals suffering from impaired motor functions. A major unresolved challenge, however, is the excessive cognitive load necessary for the human-machine interface (H...
Designing a cranial implant to restore the protective and aesthetic function of the patient's skull is a challenging process that requires a substantial amount of manual work, even for an experienced clinician. While computer-assisted approaches with...
PURPOSE: This paper presents a method to search for the worst-case configuration leading to the highest RF exposure for a multiconfiguration implantable fixation system under MRI.

PURPOSE: The aim of this work is to propose a classification algorithm to automatically detect treatment for scoliosis (brace, implant or no treatment) in postero-anterior radiographs. Such automatic labelling of radiographs could represent a step to...
This Special Issue is focused on breakthrough developments in the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics. The selected contributions include current scientific progress from biomedical signal processing and cover applications to myoelectric p...
Machine learning and deep learning are rapidly finding applications in the medical imaging field. In this paper, we address the long-standing problem of metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) images by training a dual-stream deep convolutional n...
The complicated interplay of total knee replacement (TKR) positioning and patient-specific soft tissue conditions still causes a considerable number of unsatisfactory outcomes. Therefore, we deployed a robot-assisted test method, in which a six-axis ...

Recent progress in electronic skin or e-skin research is broadly reviewed, focusing on technologies needed in three main applications: skin-attachable electronics, robotics, and prosthetics. First, since e-skin will be exposed to prolonged stresses o...
PURPOSE: In order to attain anatomical models, surgical guides and implants for computer-assisted surgery, accurate segmentation of bony structures in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans is required. However, this image segmentation step is of...
