Tip-Over Stability Analysis of a Pelvic Support Walking Robot.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Discussed in this paper is the tip-over stability analysis of a pelvic support walking robot. To improve the activities of daily living (ADL) in hemiplegic patients, a pelvic support walking robot is proposed to help patients facilitating their rehab...

Autonomously Moving Pine-Cone Robots: Using Pine Cones as Natural Hygromorphic Actuators and as Components of Mechanisms.

Artificial life
We have developed autonomously moving pine-cone robots, which are made of multiple joined pine-cone scales for outdoor natural environments. We achieved these natural robots by using pine cones as both natural hygromorphic actuators and components of...

The Impact of ACL Laxity on a Bicondylar Robotic Knee and Implications in Human Joint Biomechanics.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Elucidating the role of structural mechanisms in the knee can improve joint surgeries, rehabilitation, and understanding of biped locomotion. Identification of key features, however, is challenging due to limitations in simulation and in-v...

Human arm weight compensation in rehabilitation robotics: efficacy of three distinct methods.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Arm weight compensation with rehabilitation robots for stroke patients has been successfully used to increase the active range of motion and reduce the effects of pathological muscle synergies. However, the differences in structure, perfo...

A Comparison between Mouse, , and Robot Odor Plume Navigation Reveals Advantages of Mouse Odor Tracking.

eNeuro
Localization of odors is essential to animal survival, and thus animals are adept at odor navigation. In natural conditions animals encounter odor sources in which odor is carried by air flow varying in complexity. We sought to identify potential min...

Haptic-Guided Teleoperation of a 7-DoF Collaborative Robot Arm With an Identical Twin Master.

IEEE transactions on haptics
In this article, we describe two techniques to enable haptic-guided teleoperation using 7-DoF cobot arms as master and slave devices. A shortcoming of using cobots as master-slave systems is the lack of force feedback at the master side. However, rec...

Evaluating the sit-to-stand transfer assistance from a smart walker in older adults with motor impairments.

Geriatrics & gerontology international
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness and user satisfaction with the sit-to-stand (STS) assistance system of a smart walker (SW), and to identify factors associated with them in potential users.

ALICE: Conceptual Development of a Lower Limb Exoskeleton Robot Driven by an On-Board Musculoskeletal Simulator.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
OBJECTIVE: In this article, we present the conceptual development of a robotics platform, called ALICE (Assistive Lower Limb Controlled Exoskeleton), for kinetic and kinematic gait characterization. The ALICE platform includes a robotics wearable exo...
