Robot-assisted gait training (Lokomat) improves walking function and activity in people with spinal cord injury: a systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
UNLABELLED: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) after spinal cord injury (SCI) induces several different neurophysiological mechanisms to restore walking ability, including the activation of central pattern generators, task-specific stepping practice...

Performance evaluation of 3D vision-based semi-autonomous control method for assistive robotic manipulator.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
We developed a 3D vision-based semi-autonomous control interface for assistive robotic manipulators. It was implemented based on one of the most popular commercially available assistive robotic manipulator combined with a low-cost depth-sensing camer...

HRI usability evaluation of interaction modes for a teleoperated agricultural robotic sprayer.

Applied ergonomics
Teleoperation of an agricultural robotic system requires effective and efficient human-robot interaction. This paper investigates the usability of different interaction modes for agricultural robot teleoperation. Specifically, we examined the overall...

Endomicroscopy for Computer and Robot Assisted Intervention.

IEEE reviews in biomedical engineering
Endomicroscopy is a new technique that allows human tissue to be characterized in vivo and in situ, circumventing the need for conventional biopsy and histology. Despite increased application and growing research interests in this area, the clinical ...

How can a recurrent neurodynamic predictive coding model cope with fluctuation in temporal patterns? Robotic experiments on imitative interaction.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The current paper examines how a recurrent neural network (RNN) model using a dynamic predictive coding scheme can cope with fluctuations in temporal patterns through generalization in learning. The conjecture driving this present inquiry is that a R...

A benchtop biorobotic platform for in vitro observation of muscle-tendon dynamics with parallel mechanical assistance from an elastic exoskeleton.

Journal of biomechanics
We present a novel biorobotic framework comprised of a biological muscle-tendon unit (MTU) mechanically coupled to a feedback controlled robotic environment simulation that mimics in vivo inertial/gravitational loading and mechanical assistance from ...

Feasibility of robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy of lung tumors with kilovoltage x-ray beams.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Robotic Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung tumors is treatment modality that, for cases of inoperable lung tumors, has shown excellent treatment outcomes. The typical photon energy when delivering this type of treatments is ...

A Quadruped Robot Exhibiting Spontaneous Gait Transitions from Walking to Trotting to Galloping.

Scientific reports
The manner in which quadrupeds change their locomotive patterns-walking, trotting, and galloping-with changing speed is poorly understood. In this paper, we provide evidence for interlimb coordination during gait transitions using a quadruped robot f...

Liquid-handling Lego robots and experiments for STEM education and research.

PLoS biology
Liquid-handling robots have many applications for biotechnology and the life sciences, with increasing impact on everyday life. While playful robotics such as Lego Mindstorms significantly support education initiatives in mechatronics and programming...

On the reproducibility of expert-operated and robotic ultrasound acquisitions.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: We present the evaluation of the reproducibility of measurements performed using robotic ultrasound imaging in comparison with expert-operated sonography. Robotic imaging for interventional procedures may be a valuable contribution, but requ...
