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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...

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...
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...
