BACKGROUND: A potential alternative treatment to surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome is to inject enzymes into the transverse carpal ligament to decrease its stiffness and alleviate pressure off the median nerve. An accurate injection is needed for de...
The rapid change of motion direction during running is beneficial to improving the movement flexibility of the quadruped robot, which is of great relevance to its research. How to make the robot change its motion direction during running and achieve ...
Pixel-level depth information is crucial to many applications, such as autonomous driving, robotics navigation, 3D scene reconstruction, and augmented reality. However, depth information, which is usually acquired by sensors such as LiDAR, is sparse....
In this paper, we propose a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG)-based path-planning method for mobile robots by applying the hindsight experience replay (HER) technique to overcome the performance degradation resulting from sparse reward proble...
Background and objective: Duration of rehabilitation and active participation are crucial for gait rehabilitation in the early stage after stroke onset. Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative tool providing engaging and playful environments that could...
Ingestible robotic capsules with locomotion capabilities and on-board sampling mechanism have great potential for non-invasive diagnostic and interventional use in the gastrointestinal tract. Real-time tracking of capsule location and operational sta...
Joint dynamic properties play essential roles in a wide range of biomechanical movement control. This paper develops a device with a novel mechatronic design to apply small-amplitude perturbations to the human knee. Surface Electromyography is employ...
While robotic procedures are growing rapidly, medical students have a limited role in robotic surgeries. Curricula are needed to enhance engagement. We examined feasibility of augmenting Intuitive Surgical (IS) robotic training for medical students. ...
Radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision (BCE) is the standard of care all high-risk upper tract urothelial carcinomas. With continued advancements, robot-assisted segmental ureteral resection can be employed for ureteral tumors for ips...
To enhance the treatment of motor function impairment, patients' brain signals for self-control as an external tool may be an extraordinarily hopeful option. For the past 10 years, researchers and clinicians in the brain-computer interface (BCI) fiel...
