This paper presents a sensorized vision-enabled prosthetic hand aimed at replicating a natural hand's performance, functionality, appearance, and comfort. The design goal was to create an accessible substitution with a user-friendly…
Despite renewed awareness of the importance of articulation, it remains a challenge for instructors to handle the pronunciation needs of language learners. There are relatively scarce pedagogical tools for pronunciation teaching and…
This paper describes the Pressure Ulcers Online Website, which is a first step solution towards a new and innovative platform for helping people to detect, understand and manage pressure ulcers. It outlines the reasons why the project has…
This is the preprint version of our paper on 2015 9th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth2015). An assistive training tool software for rehabilitation of dysphonic patients is…
Transcranial electric stimulation (TES) can modulate intrinsic neural activity in the brain by injecting weak currents through electrodes attached to the scalp. TES has been widely used as a neuroscience tool to investigate how behavioural…
This paper presents and experimentally demonstrates a novel framework for variable assistance on lower body exoskeletons, based upon safety-critical control methods. Existing work has shown that providing some freedom of movement around a…
Intent inferral, the process by which a robotic device predicts a user's intent from biosignals, offers an effective and intuitive way to control wearable robots. Classical intent inferral methods treat biosignal inputs as unidirectional…
Assistive electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) have become essential mobility aids for people with disabilities such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), post-stroke hemiplegia, and dementia-related mobility impairment. This work presents…
The tactile properties of tissue, such as elasticity and stiffness, often play an important role in surgical oncology when identifying tumors and pathological tissue boundaries. Though extremely valuable, robot-assisted surgery comes at the…
Objective: This paper aims to demonstrate functional discriminability among restored hand sensations with different locations, qualities, and intensities that are evoked by microelectrode stimulation of residual afferent fibers in human…
During the last three decades, many studies have been conducted in the field of treatment with non-invasive methods. In this way, researchers try to use alternative methods including the use of electromagnetic waves in the treatment of…
Access to non-verbal cues in social interactions is vital for people with visual impairment. It has been shown that non-verbal cues such as eye contact, number of people, their names and positions are helpful for individuals who are blind.…
The rapid evolution of lightweight consumer augmented reality (AR) smart glasses (a.k.a. optical see-through head-mounted displays) offers novel opportunities for learning, particularly through their unique capability to deliver multimodal…
Selective exposure to online news consumption reinforces filter bubbles, restricting access to diverse viewpoints. Interactive systems can counteract this bias by suggesting alternative perspectives, but they require real-time indicators to…
Surgical automation can improve the accessibility and consistency of life saving procedures. Most surgeries require separating layers of tissue to access the surgical site, and suturing to reattach incisions. These tasks involve deformable…
To overcome the travelling difficulty for the visually impaired group, this paper presents a novel ETA (Electronic Travel Aids)-smart guiding device in the shape of a pair of eyeglasses for giving these people guidance efficiently and…
Situationally-induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs) make it difficult for users of interactive computing systems to perform tasks due to context (e.g., listening to a phone call when in a noisy crowd) rather than a result of a…
From the original abstract: This thesis initially aims to study the pain assessment process from a clinical-theoretical perspective while exploring and examining existing automatic approaches. Building on this foundation, the primary…
Percutaneous epicardial access (PEA), performed on a beating heart under fluoroscopy, enables arrhythmia treatment. However, advancing a needle toward the thin and moving pericardium remains highly challenging and risky. To address this…
Perceptualizing tool interactions with deformable structures in surgical procedures remains challenging, as unimodal visualization techniques often fail to capture the complexity of these interactions due to constraints such as occlusion…
