Leading-edge curvature effect on aerodynamic performance of flapping wings in hover and forward flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study investigates the role of leading-edge (LE) curvature in flapping wing aerodynamics considering hovering and forward flight conditions. A scaled-up robotic model is towed along its longitudinal axis by a rack gear carriage system. The forwa...

A robot-based hybrid lower limb system for Assist-As-Needed rehabilitation of stroke patients: Technical evaluation and clinical feasibility.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Although early rehabilitation is important following a stroke, severely affected patients have limited options for intensive rehabilitation as they are often bedridden. To create a system for early rehabilitation of lower extremities in t...

A Novel Implementation of a Social Robot for Sustainable Human Engagement in Homecare Services for Ageing Populations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This research addresses the rapid aging phenomenon prevalent in Asian societies, which has led to a significant increase in elderly individuals relocating to nursing homes due to health-related issues. This trend has resulted in social isolation and ...

Bio-inspired design of hard-bodied mobile robots based on arthropod morphologies: a 10 year systematic review and bibliometric analysis.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This research presents a 10-year systematic review based on bibliometric analysis of the bio-inspired design of hard-bodied mobile robot mechatronic systems considering the anatomy of arthropods. These are the most diverse group of animals whose flex...

Enhanced Muscle Activation Using Robotic Assistance Within the Electromechanical Delay: Implications for Rehabilitation?

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic rehabilitation has been shown to match the effects of conventional physical therapy on motor function for patients with neurological diseases. Rehabilitation robots have the potential to reduce therapists' workload in time-intensive training ...

Human Skin-Mimicking Ionogel-Based Electronic Skin for Intelligent Robotic Sorting.

Macromolecular rapid communications
Creating bionic intelligent robotic systems that emulate human-like skin perception presents a considerable scientific challenge. This study introduces a multifunctional bionic electronic skin (e-skin) made from polyacrylic acid ionogel (PAIG), desig...

Human manipulation strategy when changing object deformability and task properties.

Scientific reports
Robotic literature widely addresses deformable object manipulation, but few studies analyzed human manipulation accounting for different levels of deformability and task properties. We asked participants to grasp and insert rigid and deformable objec...

On the analysis and control of a bipedal legged locomotion model via partial feedback linearization.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this study, we introduce a new model for bipedal locomotion that enhances the classical spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model. Our proposed model incorporates a damping term in the leg spring, a linear actuator serially interconnected to th...

Acceptance of a mobile telepresence robot used to teach adapted physical activity to isolated older adults: extending and testing the technology acceptance model.

Frontiers in public health
This study aimed to investigate the acceptance of adapted physical activity (APA) by teachers and students before the use of a mobile telepresence robot (MTR), used to remotely supervise isolated older adults' physical activity. While previous studie...

Clinician perceptions of a novel wearable robotic hand orthosis for post-stroke hemiparesis.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Wearable robotic devices are currently being developed to improve upper limb function for individuals with hemiparesis after stroke. Incorporating the views of clinicians during the development of new technologies can help ensure that end pr...
