NeBULA: A Standardized Protocol for the Benchmarking of Robotic-based Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The use of robotic technologies in neurorehabilitation is growing, because they allow highly repeatable exercise protocols and patient-tailored therapies. However, there is a lack of objective methods for assessing these technologies, which makes it ...

Evaluating the effectiveness of an active strap for wearable robot: A Mechanical and Physiological Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Straps are the most commonly used elements in the wearable robotic field, where it is employed as a physical human robot interface (pHRI) between the wearable robot and wearer's body. The main role of the strap is to transmit power from the robot to ...

sEMG-based Motion Recognition for Robotic Surgery Training - A Preliminary Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic surgery represents a major breakthrough in the evolution of medical technology. Accordingly, efficient skill training and assessment methods should be developed to meet the surgeon's need of acquiring such robotic skills over a relatively sho...

A Prototype System for High Frame Rate Ultrasound Imaging based Prosthetic Arm Control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The creation of unique control methods for a hand prosthesis is still a problem that has to be addressed. The best choice of a human-machine interface (HMI) that should be used to enable natural control is still a challenge. Surface electromyography ...

Concurrent Prediction of Dexterous Finger Flexion and Extension Force via Deep Forest.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Neuromuscular injuries can impair hand function and profoundly impacting the quality of life. This has motivated the development of advanced assistive robotic hands. However, the current neural decoder systems are limited in their ability to provide ...

Control method for bio-actuators based on muscle contraction model.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
For the practical application of bio-actuators, it is desired to develop a precise control method for skeletal muscles. In this study, a novel model-based control method has been proposed. The control method enables skeletal muscles to exert an arbit...

Pose Tracking of Supermicrosurgical Robot Towards Multi-User Teleoperation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents pose tracking experiments using a supermicrosurgical robot designed to consider teleoperation with multiple surgeons. Currently, existing supermicrosurgical robots assist only the primary surgeon. However, both primary and assista...
