A Framework for User Adaptation and Profiling for Social Robotics in Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Physical rehabilitation therapies for children present a challenge, and its success-the improvement of the patient's condition-depends on many factors, such as the patient's attitude and motivation, the correct execution of the exercises prescribed b...

Exploring augmented grasping capabilities in a multi-synergistic soft bionic hand.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: State-of-the-art bionic hands incorporate hi-tech devices which try to overcome limitations of conventional single grip systems. Unfortunately, their complexity often limits mechanical robustness and intuitive prosthesis control. Recently...

A Study of Modified Infotaxis Algorithms in 2D and 3D Turbulent Environments.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Emergency response to hazardous gases in the environment is an important research field in environmental monitoring. In recent years, with the rapid development of sensor technology and mobile device technology, more autonomous search algorithms for ...

Neurocognitive robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function: a randomized control trial on motor recovery in subacute stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Hand function is often impaired after stroke, strongly affecting the ability to perform daily activities. Upper limb robotic devices have been developed to complement rehabilitation therapy offered to persons who suffered a stroke, but th...

Design and Fabrication of a Low-Cost Silicone and Water-Based Soft Actuator with a High Load-to-Weight Ratio.

Soft robotics
Traditional actuators, such as motors as well as hydraulic or pneumatic artificial muscles, demonstrate excessive noise, a heavy weight, and a large size, which limit their practical application in many areas. Therefore, for many decades, scientists ...

Detachment of the remora suckerfish disc: kinematics and a bio-inspired robotic model.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Remora suckerfish can attach to a wide diversity of marine hosts, however, their detachment mechanism remains poorly understood. Through analyzing high-speed videos, we found that the detachment of the live remora (Echeneis naucrates) is a rapid beha...

A soft pneumatic bistable reinforced actuator bioinspired by Venus Flytrap with enhanced grasping capability.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft actuators, as an important part of soft robotics, have attracted significant attention due to their inherent compliance, flexibility and safety. However, low capacity in force and load limits their applications. Prestored elastic energy can impr...
