Spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke and other nervous system conditions can result in partial or total paralysis of individual's limbs. Numerous technologies have been proposed to assist neurorehabilitation or movement restoration, e.g. robotics or neur...
In the presence of metal implants, metal artifacts are introduced to x-ray computed tomography CT images. Although a large number of metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods have been proposed in the past decades, MAR is still one of the major problems...
We have proposed a long-term, noninvasive, nonrestrictive method of delivering and implanting a biosensor within the body via a swallowable implantation capsule robot (ICR). The design and preliminary validation of the ICR's primary subsystem-the sen...

The scientific researches in human rehabilitation techniques have continually evolved to offer again the mobility and freedom lost to disability. Many systems managed by myoelectric signals intended to mimic the movement of the human arm still have r...
Open your Internet browser and search for videos showing the most advanced humanoid robots. Look at how they move and walk. Observe their motion and their interaction with the environment (the ground, users, target objects). Now, search for a video o...
