Quadrupedal galloping control for a wide range of speed via vertical impulse scaling.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents a bio-inspired quadruped controller that allows variable-speed galloping. The controller design is inspired by observations from biological runners. Quadrupedal animals increase the vertical impulse that is generated by ground rea...

Optimized Assistive Human-Robot Interaction Using Reinforcement Learning.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
An intelligent human-robot interaction (HRI) system with adjustable robot behavior is presented. The proposed HRI system assists the human operator to perform a given task with minimum workload demands and optimizes the overall human-robot system per...

Using Functional Electrical Stimulation Mediated by Iterative Learning Control and Robotics to Improve Arm Movement for People With Multiple Sclerosis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Few interventions address multiple sclerosis (MS) arm dysfunction but robotics and functional electrical stimulation (FES) appear promising. This paper investigates the feasibility of combining FES with passive robotic support during virtual reality ...

Optical angular constancy is maintained as a navigational control strategy when pursuing robots moving along complex pathways.

Journal of vision
The optical navigational control strategy used to intercept moving targets was explored using a real-world object that travels along complex, evasive pathways. Fielders ran across a gymnasium attempting to catch a moving robot that varied in speed an...

Safety and efficacy of at-home robotic locomotion therapy in individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: a prospective, pre-post intervention, proof-of-concept study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The compact Motorized orthosis for home rehabilitation of Gait (MoreGait) was developed for continuation of locomotion training at home. MoreGait generates afferent stimuli of walking with the user in a semi-supine position and provides f...

Development of a standardised training curriculum for robotic surgery: a consensus statement from an international multidisciplinary group of experts.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To explore the views of experts about the development and validation of a robotic surgery training curriculum, and how this should be implemented.

Application of time dependent probabilistic collision state checkers in highly dynamic environments.

PloS one
When computing the trajectory of an autonomous vehicle, inevitable collision states must be avoided at all costs, so no harm comes to the device or pedestrians around it. In dynamic environments, considering collisions as binary events is risky and i...

An automated high-throughput SPE micro-elution method for perfluoroalkyl substances in human serum.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
An automated high-throughput solid phase extraction (SPE) micro-elution method for 8 perfluorosulfonic acids, 11 perfluorocarboxylic acids and fluorooctane sulfonamide in human serum was developed. Importance was attached to the application of small ...

Development and Validation of a Novel Robotic Procedure Specific Simulation Platform: Partial Nephrectomy.

The Journal of urology
PURPOSE: We developed a novel procedure specific simulation platform for robotic partial nephrectomy. In this study we prospectively evaluate its face, content, construct and concurrent validity.
