Upper limb amputation severely affects the quality of life and the activities of daily living of a person. In the last decade, many robotic hand prostheses have been developed which are controlled by using various sensing technologies such as artific...
The next chapter of the robotics revolution is well underway with the deployment of robots for a broad range of commercial use cases. Even in a myriad of applications and environments, there exists a common vocabulary of components that robots share-...
Articulated legs enable the selection of robot gaits, including walking in different directions such as forward or sideways. For longer distances, the best gaits might maximize velocity or minimize the cost of transport (COT). While animals often hav...

This study investigated the effects of robot-assisted gait training with body weight support on gait and balance in stroke patients. The study participants comprised 24 patients diagnosed with stroke. Patients were randomly assigned to four groups of...
Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is one of the standard treatment options for prostate cancer. However, controversy still exists on its added value. Based on a recent large-sample retrospective cluster study from the Netherlands showing si...
To interact with its environment, a robot working in 3D space needs to organise its visual input in terms of objects or their perceptual precursors, proto-objects. Among other visual cues, depth is a submodality used to direct attention to visual fea...
Small-scale soft grippers are adaptive and deformable, and can be utilized for confined environments (, the human body). Small-scale soft grippers require logic-based computation to achieve intelligent control and perform logical analysis of the surr...
