A marker registration method to improve joint angles computed by constrained inverse kinematics.

PloS one
Accurate computation of joint angles from optical marker data using inverse kinematics methods requires that the locations of markers on a model match the locations of experimental markers on participants. Marker registration is the process of positi...

Selection of Muscle-Activity-Based Cost Function in Human-in-the-Loop Optimization of Multi-Gait Ankle Exoskeleton Assistance.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Using "human-in-the-loop" (HIL) optimization can obtain suitable exoskeleton assistance patterns to improve walking economy. However, there are differences in these patterns under different gait conditions, and currently most HIL optimizations use me...

Materials horizons
Autonomous experimentation driven by artificial intelligence (AI) provides an exciting opportunity to revolutionize inorganic materials discovery and development. Herein, we review recent progress in the design of self-driving laboratories, including...

The adjunct of transcranial direct current stimulation to Robot-assisted therapy in upper limb post-stroke treatment.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) and robot-assisted therapy (RAT) proved to be promising interventions in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, the effects of combining the two treatments are not significantly clear. To determine the eff...

Design and implementation of a hand-held robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical device with enhanced intuitive manipulability and stable grip force.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The conventional hand-held minimally invasive surgical devices commonly suffer from non-intuitive manipulability and restricted flexibility for operation.

Fin sweep angle does not determine flapping propulsive performance.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
The importance of the leading-edge sweep angle of propulsive surfaces used by unsteady swimming and flying animals has been an issue of debate for many years, spurring studies in biology, engineering, and robotics with mixed conclusions. In this work...
