A SEMG-angle model based on HMM for human robot interaction.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: An important part of the rehabilitation process using exoskeleton robots has been the creation of a friendly Human Robot Interaction (HRI) system.

Usability evaluation of communication service robot for the elderly.

Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The Republic of Korea has become the most rapidly aging society and is anticipated to enter the post-aged society in 2026. As the population ages, demand for senior-friendly products has gradually increased. Under the demands for these ci...

Impacts of robotic arm use on individuals with upper extremity disabilities: A scoping review.

Canadian journal of occupational therapy. Revue canadienne d'ergotherapie
BACKGROUND.: Robotic arms may help users perform various activities. Even though robotic arms are commercially available, their impacts are still poorly understood.

Evaluation of a Visual Localization System for Environment Awareness in Assistive Devices.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
A major hurdle for the widespread use of wearable assistive devices is determining, moment-by-moment, the control mode appropriate for a given terrain when faced with a complex, multi-terrain environment. Current control strategies focus mainly on me...

Reference Trajectory Adaptation to Improve Human-Robot Interaction: A Database-Driven Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many robotic devices that are used for therapy or as assistive devices rely on pre-defined reference trajectories to assist the user's movements. Fixed pre-defined trajectories force the user to adapt to unnatural movement patterns which may be detri...

Stroke Rehabilitation: Therapy Robots and Assistive Devices.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Motor impairments after stroke are often persistent and disabling, and women are less likely to recover and show poorer functional outcomes. To regain motor function after stroke, rehabilitation robots are increasingly integrated into clinics. The de...

Robotic rehabilitation training with a newly developed upper limb single-joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL-SJ) for elbow flexor reconstruction after brachial plexus injury: A report of two cases.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery (Hong Kong)
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using the upper limb single-joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (upper limb HAL-SJ) during elbow flexion training following elbow flexor reconstruction for brachial plexus injury (BPI). We present ...

Head Motion and Head Gesture-Based Robot Control: A Usability Study.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The assistive robot system adaptive head motion control for user-friendly support (AMiCUS) has been developed to increase the autonomy of motion impaired people. The six degrees of freedom robot arm with gripper is controlled with head motion and hea...

Fuzzy logic-based mobile computing system for hand rehabilitation after neurological injury.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Effective neurological rehabilitation requires long term assessment and treatment. The rapid progress of virtual reality-based assistive technologies and tele-rehabilitation has increased the potential for self-rehabilitation of various n...

Design of a wearable interface for lightweight robotic arm for people with mobility impairments.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Many common activities of daily living like open a door or fill a glass of water, which most of us take for granted, could be an insuperable problem for people who have limited mobility or impairments. For years the unique alternative to overcame thi...
