Mixed-reality assistive robotic power chair simulator for Parkinson's tremor testing.

Medical engineering & physics
This note describes the development of a mixed-reality assistive robotic wheel chair simulator for testing of Parkinson's tremor mitigation and operator assistance. It consists of a power chair (PCh), roller dynamometer, head mounted virtual reality ...

Real-Time Human Action Recognition with a Low-Cost RGB Camera and Mobile Robot Platform.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human action recognition is an important research area in the field of computer vision that can be applied in surveillance, assisted living, and robotic systems interacting with people. Although various approaches have been widely used, recent studie...

Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a di...

Multi-legged steering and slipping with low DoF hexapod robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Thanks to their sprawled posture and multi-legged support, stability is not as hard to achieve for hexapedal robots as it is for bipeds and quadrupeds. A key engineering challenge with hexapods has been to produce insect-like agility and maneuverabil...

The behaviour of commercial broilers in response to a mobile robot.

British poultry science
1. Modern broiler production in large sheds holding upwards of 50 000 birds uses indoor climate control based on a handful of fixed-location sensors, often well above the bird-occupied zone. Significant deviations from optimal climate conditions for ...

Proprioceptive Estimation of Forces Using Underactuated Fingers for Robot-Initiated pHRI.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI), forces exerted by humans need to be estimated to accommodate robot commands to human constraints, preferences, and needs. This paper presents a method for the estimation of the interaction forces between a ...

Joint Angle Estimation of a Tendon-Driven Soft Wearable Robot through a Tension and Stroke Measurement.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The size of a device and its adaptability to human properties are important factors in developing a wearable device. In wearable robot research, therefore, soft materials and tendon transmissions have been utilized to make robots compact and adaptabl...

Static Tactile Sensing for a Robotic Electronic Skin via an Electromechanical Impedance-Based Approach.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tactile sensing is paramount for robots operating in human-centered environments to help in understanding interaction with objects. To enable robots to have sophisticated tactile sensing capability, researchers have developed different kinds of elect...
