Minimize Tracking Occlusion in Collaborative Pick-and-Place Tasks: An Analytical Approach for Non-Wrist-Partitioned Manipulators.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Several industrial pick-and-place applications, such as collaborative assembly lines, rely on visual tracking of the parts. Recurrent occlusions are caused by the manipulator motion decrease line productivity and can provoke failures. This work provi...

Cold ablation robot-guided laser osteotomy in hand, wrist and forearm surgery-A feasibility study.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
INTRODUCTION: Traditional bone surgery using saws and chisels is associated with direct contact of instruments with the bone causing friction, heat and pressure and hence, damaging the bone and the surrounding soft tissues.

Analysis of the Leap Motion Controller's Performance in Measuring Wrist Rehabilitation Tasks Using an Industrial Robot Arm Reference.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The Leap Motion Controller (LMC) is a low-cost markerless optical sensor that performs measurements of various parameters of the hands that has been investigated for a wide range of different applications. Research attention still needs to focus on t...

Sensing, Actuating, and Interacting Through Passive Body Dynamics: A Framework for Soft Robotic Hand Design.

Soft robotics
Robotic hands have long strived to reach the performance of human hands. The physical complexity and extraordinary capabilities of the human hand, in terms of sensing, actuation, and cognitive abilities, make achieving this goal challenging. At the h...

A novel approach to radiographic detection of growth development period with hand-wrist radiographs: A preliminary study with ImageJ imaging software.

Orthodontics & craniofacial research
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the ImageJ program can be used to automatically determine the growth period of the hand and wrist which have different growth-development periods according to the density values in t...

Architectural design and development of an upper-limb rehabilitation device: a modular synthesis approach.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Enormous assistance is required during rehabilitation activities, which might result in a variety of complications if performed manually. To solve this issue, several solutions in the form of assistive devices have been presented recently. A...

Corticomuscular integrated representation of voluntary motor effort in robotic control for wrist-hand rehabilitation after stroke.

Journal of neural engineering
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...

Automatic detection of passing and shooting in water polo using machine learning: a feasibility study.

Sports biomechanics
There is currently no efficient way to quantify overhead throwing volume in water polo. Therefore, this study aimed to test the feasibility of a method to detect passes and shots in water polo automatically using inertial measurement units (IMU) and ...

Improving Automatic Control of Upper-Limb Prosthesis Wrists Using Gaze-Centered Eye Tracking and Deep Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Many upper-limb prostheses lack proper wrist rotation functionality, leading to users performing poor compensatory strategies, leading to overuse or abandonment. In this study, we investigate the validity of creating and implementing a data-driven pr...

Fracture Detection in Wrist X-ray Images Using Deep Learning-Based Object Detection Models.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Hospitals, especially their emergency services, receive a high number of wrist fracture cases. For correct diagnosis and proper treatment of these, images obtained from various medical equipment must be viewed by physicians, along with the patient's ...
