Generating an Adaptive and Robust Walking Pattern for a Prosthetic Ankle-Foot by Utilizing a Nonlinear Autoregressive Network With Exogenous Inputs.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
One of the major challenges in developing powered lower limb prostheses is emulating the behavior of an intact lower limb with different walking speeds over diverse terrains. Numerous studies have been conducted on control algorithms in the field of ...

Toward Safe Wearer-Prosthesis Interaction: Evaluation of Gait Stability and Human Compensation Strategy Under Faults in Robotic Transfemoral Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Although advanced wearable robots can assist human wearers, their internal faults (i.e., sensors or control errors) also pose a challenge. To ensure safe wearer-robot interactions, how internal errors by the prosthesis limb affect the stability of th...

Magnetohydrodynamic levitation for high-performance flexible pumps.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
We use magnetohydrodynamic levitation as a means to create a soft, elastomeric, solenoid-driven pump (ESP). We present a theoretical framework and fabrication of a pump designed to address the unique challenges of soft robotics, maintaining pumping p...

CyberLimb: a novel robotic prosthesis concept with shared and intuitive control.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Existing assistive technologies attempt to mimic biological functions through advanced mechatronic designs. In some occasions, the information processing demands for such systems require substantial information bandwidth and convoluted co...

Three-dimensional deep learning to automatically generate cranial implant geometry.

Scientific reports
We present a 3D deep learning framework that can generate a complete cranial model using a defective one. The Boolean subtraction between these two models generates the geometry of the implant required for surgical reconstruction. There is little or ...

A decade retrospective of medical robotics research from 2010 to 2020.

Science robotics
Robotics is a forward-looking discipline. Attention is focused on identifying the next grand challenges. In an applied field such as medical robotics, however, it is important to plan the future based on a clear understanding of what the research com...

Cutaneous Ionogel Mechanoreceptors for Soft Machines, Physiological Sensing, and Amputee Prostheses.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Touch sensing has a central role in robotic grasping and emerging human-machine interfaces for robot-assisted prosthetics. Although advancements in soft conductive polymers have promoted the creation of diverse pressure sensors, these sensors are dif...

Value of 3D preoperative planning for primary total hip arthroplasty based on artificial intelligence technology.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative planning is an important step for accurate reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Presently, preoperative planning is completed using either a two-dimensional (2D) template or three-dimensional (3D) mimics s...

A deep learning application to approximate the geometric orifice and coaptation areas of the polymeric heart valves under time - varying transvalvular pressure.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
Machine learning and deep learning frameworks have been presented as a substitute for lengthy computational analysis, such as finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and fluid-structure interaction. In this study, our objective was to ...

Restoration of sensory information via bionic hands.

Nature biomedical engineering
Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the acquisition of control signals that drive the movements of the ro...
