Miniaturized Circuitry for Capacitive Self-Sensing and Closed-Loop Control of Soft Electrostatic Transducers.

Soft robotics
Soft robotics is a field of robotic system design characterized by materials and structures that exhibit large-scale deformation, high compliance, and rich multifunctionality. The incorporation of soft and deformable structures endows soft robotic sy...

CMUT-based biosensor with convolutional neural network signal processing.

Ultrasonics
The improvement of the micromachined ultrasound transducer based (CMUT) biosensor fabrication technology and signal processing, which led to higher signal to noise ratio is reported. The biosensor contains interdigitally arranged CMUT structure with ...

Ultrasonic Tethering to Enable Side-by-Side Following for Powered Wheelchairs.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In social situations, people who use a powered wheelchair must divide their attention between navigating the chair and conversing with people. These conversations could lead to increased mental stress when navigating and distraction from maneuvering ...

Fully tuned RBF neural network controller for ultrasound hyperthermia cancer tumour therapy.

Network (Bristol, England)
Thermal dose is an important clinical efficacy index for hyperthermia cancer treatment. This paper presents a new direct radial basis function (RBF) neural network controller for high-temperature hyperthermia thermal dose during the therapeutic proce...

Robust and semantic needle detection in 3D ultrasound using orthogonal-plane convolutional neural networks.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: During needle interventions, successful automated detection of the needle immediately after insertion is necessary to allow the physician identify and correct any misalignment of the needle and the target at early stages, which reduces needl...

Using echo state networks for classification: A case study in Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Despite having notable advantages over established machine learning methods for time series analysis, reservoir computing methods, such as echo state networks (ESNs), have yet to be widely used for practical data mining applications. In this paper, w...

Feed-forward control for magnetic shape memory alloy actuators based on the radial basis function neural network model.

Journal of applied biomaterials & functional materials
Hysteresis exists in magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) actuators, which restricts MSMA actuators' application. To describe hysteresis of the MSMA actuators, a hysteresis model based on the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is put forward....

Initial Experience Using a Telerobotic Ultrasound System for Adult Abdominal Sonography.

Canadian Association of Radiologists journal = Journal l'Association canadienne des radiologistes
PURPOSE: The study sought to assess the feasibility of performing adult abdominal examinations using a telerobotic ultrasound system in which radiologists or sonographers can control fine movements of a transducer and all ultrasound settings from a r...

Using Self-Reliance Factors to Decide How to Share Control Between Human Powered Wheelchair Drivers and Ultrasonic Sensors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
A shared-control scheme for a powered wheelchair is presented. The wheelchair can be operated by a wheelchair driver using a joystick, or directed by a sensor system, or control can be combined between them. The wheelchair system can modify direction...
