Design of multiple axis robotic platform for postural stability analysis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents the design and implementation of IsiMove, a new dynamic posturography platform. It allows the evaluation of the static and dynamic balance of a human placed on a force plate. IsiMove is a robotic platform open kinematic with four ...

A vision-based system for fast and accurate laser scanning in robot-assisted phonomicrosurgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical quality in phonomicrosurgery can be improved by open-loop laser control (e.g., high-speed scanning capabilities) with a robust and accurate closed-loop visual servoing systems. A new vision-based system for laser scanning control du...

Time-frequency modulation of ERD and EEG coherence in robot-assisted hand performance.

Brain topography
A better understanding of cortical modifications related to movement preparation and execution after robot-assisted training could aid in refining rehabilitation therapy protocols for stroke patients. Electroencephalography (EEG) modifications of cor...

Controlling motion prediction errors in radiotherapy with relevance vector machines.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Robotic radiotherapy can precisely ablate moving tumors when time latencies have been compensated. Recently, relevance vector machines (RVM), a probabilistic regression technique, outperformed six other prediction algorithms for respiratory ...

Estimation of optimal pivot point for remote center of motion alignment in surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The determination of an optimal pivot point ([Formula: see text]) is important for instrument manipulation in minimally invasive surgery. Such knowledge is of particular importance for robotic-assisted surgery where robots need to rotate pre...

Bio-inspired group modeling and analysis for intruder detection in mobile sensor/robotic networks.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Although previous bio-inspired models have concentrated on invertebrates (such as ants), mammals such as primates with higher cognitive function are valuable for modeling the increasingly complex problems in engineering. Understanding primates' socia...

Multi-view vision system for laparoscopy surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: A global endoscopic view of the surgical field could help avoid complications such as perforation of occluded organs and may reduce the endoscope displacements and also the usual time of laparoscopic procedure using a conventional endoscopy ...

Mobile locally operated detachable end-effector manipulator for endoscopic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Local surgery is safer than remote surgery because emergencies can be more easily addressed. Although many locally operated surgical robots and devices have been developed, none can safely grasp organs and provide traction. A new manipulator...

The first step in using a robot in brain injury rehabilitation: patients' and health-care professionals' perspective.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usability of a mobile telepresence robot (MTR) in a hospital training apartment (HTA). The MTR was manoeuvred remotely and was used for communication when assessing independent living skills, and for security monitoring of co...
