IHMC's experience competing in the Cybathlon compared to the DARPA robotics challenge.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: As a research scientist, my work tends to focus on scientific investigations. Our group occasionally makes discoveries or has a successful demonstration, and sometimes we can even repeatedly demonstrate something working on the hardware. ...

Full-driving soft robotic colonoscope in compliant colon tissue.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Robotic colonoscopy is an efficient examination method for finding malignant tumour in its early stage. This research developed a novel robotic endoscope with 13 mm diameter, 105 mm length and 22.3 g weight. A contact biomechanical model is proposed ...

Can Dogs Assist Children with Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder in Complying with Challenging Demands? An Exploratory Experiment with a Live and a Robotic Dog.

Journal of alternative and complementary medicine (New York, N.Y.)
OBJECTIVES: Prompted by the need to find effective ways to enhance compliance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and building on the increasing interest in dog-assisted interventions for this population, this study provides an explorato...

Biarticular elements as a contributor to energy efficiency: biomechanical review and application in bio-inspired robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Despite the increased interest in exoskeleton research in the last decades, not much progress has been made on the successful reduction of user effort. In humans, biarticular elements have been identified as one of the reasons for the energy economy ...

Memristive device based learning for navigation in robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Biomimetic robots have gained attention recently for various applications ranging from resource hunting to search and rescue operations during disasters. Biological species are known to intuitively learn from the environment, gather and process data,...

Modeling and analysis of a meso-hydraulic climbing robot with artificial muscle actuation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents a fully coupled electro-hydraulic model of a bio-inspired climbing robot actuated by fluidic artificial muscles (FAMs). This analysis expands upon previous FAM literature by considering not only the force and contraction character...

Wireless intraoral tongue control of an assistive robotic arm for individuals with tetraplegia.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: For an individual with tetraplegia assistive robotic arms provide a potentially invaluable opportunity for rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of available control methods to allow these individuals to fully control the assistive arm...

A new rat-compatible robotic framework for spatial navigation behavioral experiments.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Understanding the neural substrate of information encoding and processing requires a precise control of the animal's behavior. Most of what has been learned from the rodent navigational system results from relatively simple tasks in which...
