Control method for bio-actuators based on muscle contraction model.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
For the practical application of bio-actuators, it is desired to develop a precise control method for skeletal muscles. In this study, a novel model-based control method has been proposed. The control method enables skeletal muscles to exert an arbit...

Using workspace restrictiveness for adaptive velocity adjustment of assistive robots and upper limb exoskeletons.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Individuals with severe disabilities can benefit from assistive robotic systems (ARS) for performing activities of daily living. However, limited control interfaces are available for individuals who cannot use their hands for the control, and most of...

Generalizing Upper Limb Force Modeling With Transfer Learning: A Multimodal Approach Using EMG and IMU for New Users and Conditions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In the field of EMG-based force modeling, the ability to generalize models across individuals could play a significant role in its adoption across a range of applications, including assistive devices, robotic and rehabilitation devices. However, curr...

User confidence and electrodermal activity during haptic exploration for perceptual comparisons using a robotic system.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Children with physical impairments may have trouble effectively performing the hand movements used in haptic exploration and may miss information about object properties. Assistive robotic systems with haptic feedback may enable children with physica...

Exploring the Use of Socially Assistive Robots Among Socially Isolated Korean American Older Adults.

Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society
This pilot study explored whether a socially assistive robot (SAR) would have positive effects on Korean American immigrant older adults' health behaviors and emotional well-being and whether the older adults would be receptive to the SAR. A total of...

Immersive participatory design of assistive robots to support older adults.

Ergonomics
Assistive robots have the potential to support independence, enhance safety, and lower healthcare costs for older adults, as well as alleviate the demands of their care partners. However, ensuring that these robots will effectively and reliably addre...

Socially Assistive Robots for patients with Alzheimer's Disease: A scoping review.

Archives of gerontology and geriatrics
BACKGROUND: The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), is challenging for both those affected as well as for their care providers, and caregivers. Socially assistive robots (SARs) offer promising supportive care to assist in the comp...

Perspective analysis of assistive robots for elderly in India.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Assistive technology for elderly are advancing, and this study aimed to analyse the Indian perspective on utilising assistive robot technology for aiding elderly individuals.

Outcome measures applied to robotic assistive technology for people with cerebral palsy: a pilot study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The application of robotic devices is being used as Assistive Technology (AT) for improving rehabilitation interventions. The purposes of this research were to (1) test a novel low-cost robotic AT to support interventions for people with Cerebral Pal...

User Experience Evaluation of a Spinal Surgery Robot: Workload, Usability, and Satisfaction Study.

JMIR human factors
BACKGROUND: Robotic spine surgery has continued to evolve since its US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2004, with products now including real-time video guidance and navigation during surgery. As the market for robotic surgical devices evolv...
