There are physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) applications where the robot has to grab the human body, such as rescue or assistive robotics. Being able to precisely estimate the grasping location when grabbing a human limb is crucial to perform a...
End-effector type upper limb rehabilitation robots (ULRRs) are connected to patients at one distal point, making them have simple structures and less complex control algorithms, and they can avoid abnormal motion and posture of the target anatomical ...
In recent years, legged (quadruped) robots have been subject of technological study and continuous development. These robots have a leading role in applications that require high mobility skills in complex terrain, as is the case of Search and Rescue...
Optimal placement of deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for treating movement disorders routinely relies on intraoperative motor testing for target determination. However, in current practice, motor testing relies on subjective interpretation and c...
Robotic manipulation refers to how robots intelligently interact with the objects in their surroundings, such as grasping and carrying an object from one place to another. Dexterous manipulating skills enable robots to assist humans in accomplishing ...
This study proposed a control method, a data-driven predictive control (DDPC), for the hand exoskeleton used for active, passive, and resistive rehabilitation. DDPC is a model-free approach based on past system data. One of the strengths of DDPC is t...
OBJECTIVE: Joint dislocations are orthopedic emergencies that require prompt intervention. Automatic identification of these injuries could help improve timely patient care because diagnostic delays increase the difficulty of reduction. In this study...
INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence suggests that robotic devices for upper limb rehabilitation after a stroke may improve upper limb function. For robotic upper limb rehabilitation in stroke to be successful, patients' experiences and those of the rehab...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of using an Internet of things (IoT)-assisted tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and task-specific motor training (TSMT) as home programs for the upper-limb (UL) functions of patients with chronic strok...
Industry 4.0 transforms classical industrial systems into more human-centric and digitized systems. Close human-robot collaboration is becoming more frequent, which means security and efficiency issues need to be carefully considered. In this paper, ...
