A stroke is a common disease that can easily lead to lower limb motor dysfunction in the elderly. Stroke survivors can effectively train muscle strength through leg flexion and extension training. However, available lower limb rehabilitation robots i...
There exist several methods aimed at human-robot physical interaction (HRpI) to provide physical therapy in patients. The use of haptics has become an option to display forces along a given path so as to it guides the physiotherapist protocol. Critic...
Miniature soft robots with elaborate structures and programmable physical properties could conduct micromanipulation with high precision as well as access confined and tortuous spaces, which promise benefits in medical tasks and environmental monitor...
The current proliferation of mobile robots spans ecological monitoring, warehouse management and extreme environment exploration, to an individual consumer's home. This expanding frontier of applications requires robots to transit multiple environmen...
OBJECTIVE: Based on social exchange theory, this study investigates the effects of robots' fairness and social status on humans' reward-punishment behaviors and trust in human-robot interactions.
Automated robots are an important part of realizing sustainable food production in smart agriculture. Agricultural robots require a powerful and precise navigation system to be able to perform tasks in the field. Aiming at the problems of complex ima...
Soft robots can create complicated structures and functions for rehabilitation. The posture perception of soft actuators is critical for performing closed-loop control for a precise location. It is essential to have a sensor with both soft and flexib...
Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is one of the most widely used Bayesian estimation methods in the optimal control area. Recent works on mobile robot control and transportation systems have applied various EKF methods, especially for localization. Howeve...

The standard of care for esophageal malignancies has evolved over the years from open transthoracic esophagectomy to a minimally invasive approach due to the reduction in surgical trauma and significant impact on postoperative outcomes. Minimally inv...
Natural terrain is uneven so it may be beneficial to grasp onto the depressions or 'valleys' between obstacles when walking over such a surface. To examine how leg geometry influences walking across obstacles with valleys, we (1) modeled the performa...
