Ground robotic vehicles are often deployed to inspect areas where radioactive floor contamination is a prominent risk. However, the accuracy of detection could be adversely affected by enhanced radiation signal through self-contamination of the robot...
This paper presents a periodic event-triggered sliding mode control (SMC) scheme based on human-robot cooperation for lower limb exoskeletons. Firstly, a Genetic Algorithm-Back propagation (GA-BP) neural network is proposed to estimate the motion int...
BACKGROUND: Efforts are ongoing to try and find ways to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies without missing clinically significant prostate cancers (csPCa). The utility of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in detecting...
Passive movement is an important mean of rehabilitation for stroke survivors in the early stage or with greater paralysis. The upper extremity robot is required to assist therapists with passive movement during clinical rehabilitation, while customiz...
