Robotic arms have been widely used in various industries and have the advantages of cost savings, high productivity, and efficiency. Although robotic arms are good at increasing efficiency in repetitive tasks, they still need to be re-programmed and ...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to examine whether robotic self-training improved upper-extremity function versus conventional self-training in mild-to-moderate hemiplegic chronic stroke patients.
PURPOSE: To determine how differences in frequency of the single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) use affect the improvement of upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients.
Computer vision has shown promising potential in wearable robotics applications (e.g., human grasping target prediction and context understanding). However, in practice, the performance of computer vision algorithms is challenged by insufficient or b...
The central-to-peripheral voluntary motor effort (VME) in the affected limb is a dominant force for driving the functional neuroplasticity on motor restoration post-stroke. However, current rehabilitation robots isolated the central and peripheral in...
For haptic interaction, a user in a virtual environment needs to interact with proxies attached to a robot. The device must be at the exact location defined in the virtual environment in time. However, due to device limitations, delays are always una...
