This article presents the development of modular soft robotic wrist joint mechanisms for delicate and precise manipulation in the harsh deep-sea environment. The wrist consists of a rotary module and bending module, which can be combined with other a...
The measurement of wrist passive ranges of motion (ROMs) can provide insight into improvements and allow for effective monitoring during a rehabilitation program. Compared with conventional methods, this study proposed a new robotic assessment techni...
OBJECTIVES: To realize the automated bone age assessment by applying deep learning to digital radiography (DR) image recognition of left wrist joint in Uyghur teenagers, and explore its practical application value in forensic medicine bone age assess...
