Pediatric gait disorders are often chronic and accompanied by various complications, which challenge rehabilitation efforts. Here, we retrospectively analyzed the feasibility of overground robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using a joint-torque-assi...
Tactile information is crucial for recognizing physical interactions, manipulation of an object, and motion planning for a robotic gripper; however, concurrent tactile technologies have certain limitations over directional force sensing. In particula...
Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments where people move unpredictably is an essential task for service robots in real-world populated scenarios. Recent works in reinforcement learning (RL) have been applied to autonomous vehicle driving and t...
Robotic grasping ability lags far behind human skills and poses a significant challenge in the robotics research area. According to the grasping part of an object, humans can select the appropriate grasping postures of their fingers. When humans gras...
This article proposes a new multistage evolutionary fuzzy control configuration and navigation of three-wheeled robots cooperatively carrying an overhead object in unknown environments. Based on the divide-and-conquer technique, this article proposes...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of our mesh fixation technique in robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (R-TAPP). The primary outcome was the recurrence rate. Secondary outcomes were postoperativ...
PURPOSE: Our goal was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of the KangDuo Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) system for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
BACKGROUND: Despite the high success rate associated with Heller myotomy in the treatment of primary achalasia, symptom persistence or relapse occurs in approximately 10-20% of patients. Unfortunately, the ideal treatment after failed myotomy is not ...
In this paper, we present a strategy for a legged robot to stably cross cinder blocks with a limited area acquired from a camera. First, we used the point cloud acquired from the camera to detect the planes and calculate their centroids and direction...
Many real-world applications for robots-such as long-term aerial and underwater observation, cross-medium operations, and marine life surveys-require robots with the ability to move between the air-water boundary. Here, we describe an aerial-aquatic ...
