Designing robot-assisted neurorehabilitation strategies for people with both HIV and stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
There is increasing evidence that HIV is an independent risk factor for stroke, resulting in an emerging population of people living with both HIV and stroke all over the world. However, neurorehabilitation strategies for the HIV-stroke population ar...

Chip-on-tip endoscope incorporating a soft robotic pneumatic bending microactuator.

Biomedical microdevices
In the ever advancing field of minimally invasive surgery, flexible instruments with local degrees of freedom are needed to navigate through the intricate topologies of the human body. Although cable or concentric tube driven solutions have proven th...

Development of a shoulder-mounted robot for MRI-guided needle placement: phantom study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This paper presents new quantitative data on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) study, distortion study, and targeting accuracy phantom study for our patient-mounted robot (called Arthrobot). Arthrobot was developed as an MRI-guided needle placem...

Towards the development of robot immune system: A combined approach involving innate immune cells and T-lymphocytes.

Bio Systems
Mobile robots in uncertain and unstructuredenvironments frequently encounter faults. Therefore, an effective fault detection and recovery mechanism is required. One can possibly investigate natural systems to seek inspiration to develop systems that ...

Exoskeleton assistance symmetry matters: unilateral assistance reduces metabolic cost, but relatively less than bilateral assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Many gait impairments are characterized by asymmetry and result in reduced mobility. Exoskeletons could be useful for restoring gait symmetry by assisting only one leg. However, we still have limited understanding of the effects of unilat...

A Robotic System for Adaptive Training and Function Assessment of Forelimb Retraction in Mice.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Rodent models are decisive for translational research in healthy and pathological conditions of motor function thanks to specific similarities with humans. Here, we present an upgraded version of the M-Platform, a robotic device previously designed t...
