Major challenges of controlling human-robot collaboration (HRC)-oriented modular robot manipulators (MRMs) include the estimation of human motion intention while cooperating with a robot and performance optimization. This article proposes a cooperati...
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) is a promising candidate for actuation in light-driven soft robot applications. Due to the fact that LCE has complex hysteretic nonlinearities, which are highly dependent on the environment, modeling of actuators made o...
Dynamic movement primitives (DMPs) have been widely applied in robot motion planning and control. However, in some special cases, original discrete DMP fails to generalize proper trajectories. Moreover, it is difficult to produce trajectories on the ...
With the advancement of robotics, the field of path planning is currently experiencing a period of prosperity. Researchers strive to address this nonlinear problem and have achieved remarkable results through the implementation of the Deep Reinforcem...
This paper proposes a learning control framework for the robotic manipulator's dynamic tracking task demanding fixed-time convergence and constrained output. In contrast with model-dependent methods, the proposed solution deals with unknown manipulat...
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to investigate the ankle alignment alterations after the correction of knee varus deformity in MAKO robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (MA-TKA).

Physiotherapy is a treatment that may be required permanently by many patients. As a result, a robot that can execute physiotherapy exercises for the legs like a professional therapist with adequate performance and acceptable safety may be efficient ...
BACKGROUND: Central pancreatectomy (CP) has been established as the most common type of parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy; however, CP is associated with higher morbidity and a higher pancreatic fistula (PF) rate than distal pancreatectomy or pancrea...

PURPOSE: Spinal augmentation procedures (SAP) are standard procedures for vertebral compression fractures. Often, SAPs are carried out in a minimally invasive, percutaneous way. Certain anatomic conditions such as small pedicles or kyphotic deformiti...
A mixed-methods approach was used to assess the fidelity of virtual environments as ergonomic assessment tools for human-robot interaction. Participants performed a visual search task in the physical environment while a nearby collaborative robot rep...
