Time-delay estimation based computed torque control with robust adaptive RBF neural network compensator for a rehabilitation exoskeleton.

ISA transactions
A new approach to gait rehabilitation task of a 12 DOF lower limb exoskeleton is proposed combining time-delay estimation (TDE) based computed torque control (CTC) and robust adaptive RBF neural networks. In addition to the conventional advantages of...

New Motion Intention Acquisition Method of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot Based on Static Torque Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The rehabilitation robot is an application of robotic technology for people with limb disabilities. This paper investigates a new applicable and effective sitting/lying lower limb rehabilitation robot (the LLR-Ro). In order to improve the patient's t...

How Prefrail Older People Living Alone Perceive Information and Communications Technology and What They Would Ask a Robot for: Qualitative Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: In the last decade, the family system has changed significantly. Although in the past, older people used to live with their children, nowadays, they cannot always depend on assistance of their relatives. Many older people wish to remain a...

Home rehabilitation supported by a wearable soft-robotic device for improving hand function in older adults: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: New developments, based on the concept of wearable soft-robotic devices, make it possible to support impaired hand function during the performance of daily activities and intensive task-specific training. The wearable soft-robotic ironHan...

Psychological reactions to human versus robotic job replacement.

Nature human behaviour
Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence are increasingly enabling organizations to replace humans with intelligent machines and algorithms. Forecasts predict that, in the coming years, these new technologies will affect millions of workers i...

Computer- and Robot-Assisted Therapies to Aid Social and Intellectual Functioning of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience challenges with social interactions, a core feature of the disorder. Social skills therapy has been shown to be helpful. Over the past several years, computer-assisted...

Community-dwelling older adults' needs and acceptance regarding the use of robot technology to assist with daily living performance.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: The rate of aging in Korea is extremely fast compared to major countries. We examined the key demands of community-dwelling older adults with regard to Connected Active Space technology, which provides tailored assistance with daily livin...

Capture Point-Based Controller Using Real-Time Zero Moment Point Manipulation for Stable Bipedal Walking in Human Environment.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
For collaboration of humans and bipedal robots in human environments, this paper proposes a stability control method for dynamically modifiable bipedal walking using a capture point (CP) tracking controller. A reasonable reference CP trajectory for t...

Perioperative mortality and morbidity of outpatient versus inpatient robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: A propensity matched analysis.

Urologic oncology
OBJECTIVES: To compare the early (≤30 days) postoperative mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and were discharged the same surgery day to a propensity score matched patient population of RARP ...

Ankle torque steadiness and gait speed after a single session of robot therapy in individuals with chronic hemiparesis: a pilot study.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
Anklebot therapy has proven to be effective in improving hemiparetic gait. However, neither ankle torque steadiness nor the relationship between changes in force control and functional tasks after therapy with Anklebot were described. To assess whet...
