Our understanding of the physics of biological molecules, such as proteins and DNA, is limited because the approximations we usually apply to model inert materials are not in general applicable to soft, chemically inhomogeneous systems. The…

Many amputees throughout the world are left with limited options to personally own a prosthetic arm due to the expensive cost, mechanical system complexity, and lack of availability. The three main control methods of prosthetic hands are:…

Traditional approaches to quadruped control frequently employ simplified, hand-derived models. This significantly reduces the capability of the robot since its effective kinematic range is curtailed. In addition, kinodynamic constraints are…

Robotic systems are increasingly used in rehabilitation to provide high intensity training for patients with motor impairment. The results of controlled trials involving human subjects confirm the effectiveness of robot-enhanced methods and…

Wearable orthoses can function both as assistive devices, which allow the user to live independently, and as rehabilitation devices, which allow the user to regain use of an impaired limb. To be fully wearable, such devices must have…

The significance of employing a controller in prosthetic hands cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in enhancing the functionality and usability of these systems. This paper introduces an adaptive neuro-controller specifically…

The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role fingers play in drumming. This primarily includes controlling the…

Powered ankle-foot prostheses can often reduce the energy cost of walking by assisting with push-off. However, focus on providing mechanical work may lead to ignoring or exacerbating common issues with chronic pain, irritation, pressure…

Transitions in an artificial atom, driven non-adiabatically through an energy-level avoided crossing, can be controlled by carefully engineering the driving protocol. We have driven a superconducting persistent-current qubit with a…

Lower extremity amputees face challenges in natural locomotion, which is partially compensated using powered assistive systems, e.g., micro-processor controlled prosthetic leg. In this paper, a radar-based perception system is proposed to…

We propose in this paper Periodic Interaction Primitives - a probabilistic framework that can be used to learn compact models of periodic behavior. Our approach extends existing formulations of Interaction Primitives to periodic movement…

Deformable medical image registration is an essential task in computer-assisted interventions. This problem is particularly relevant to oncological treatments, where precise image alignment is necessary for tracking tumor growth, assessing…

Robots applied in therapeutic scenarios, for instance in the therapy of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, are sometimes used for imitation learning activities in which a person needs to repeat motions by the robot. To simplify the…

Many kinds of lower-limb exoskeletons were developed for walking assistance. However, when controlling these exoskeletons, time-delay due to the computation time and the communication delays is still a general problem. In this research, we…

The functional replication and actuation of complex structures inspired by nature is a longstanding goal for humanity. Creating such complex structures combining soft and rigid features and actuating them with artificial muscles would…

On the basis of introspective analysis, we establish a crucial requirement for the physical computation basis of consciousness: it should allow processing a significant amount of information together at the same time. Classical computation…

The efficient numerical simulation of nonequilibrium real-time evolution in isolated quantum matter constitutes a key challenge for current computational methods. This holds in particular in the regime of two spatial dimensions, whose…

Tactile sensing is a crucial perception mode for robots and human amputees in need of controlling a prosthetic device. Today robotic and prosthetic systems are still missing the important feature of accurate tactile sensing. This lack is…

For lower arm amputees, prosthetic hands promise to restore most of physical interaction capabilities. This requires to accurately predict hand gestures capable of grabbing varying objects and execute them timely as intended by the user.…

Based on recent health statistics, there are several thousands of people with limb disability and gait disorders that require a medical assistance. A robot assisted rehabilitation therapy can help them recover and return to a normal life.…
