Background and Objectives: This paper focuses on using AI to assess the cognitive function of older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia using physiological data provided by a wearable device. Cognitive screening tools are…
Recording muscle tendon junction displacements during movement, allows separate investigation of the muscle and tendon behaviour, respectively. In order to provide a fully-automatic tracking method, we employ a novel deep learning approach…
Humans sense of distance depends on the integration of multi sensory cues. The incoming visual luminance, auditory pitch and tactile vibration could all contribute to the ability of distance judgement. This ability can be enhanced if the…
In-hand object manipulation is a fundamental yet challenging capability for dexterous robots. Despite significant progress in dexterous manipulation, existing approaches rely heavily on vision or tactile sensing to track object states,…
We here present work a generalized low-level technical framework aimed to provide musical biofeedback in post-stroke balance and gait rehabilitation, built by an iterative user-centered process. The framework comprises wireless wearable…
The objective of the system presented in this paper is to give users tactile feedback while walking in a virtual world through an anthropomorphic finger motion interface. We determined that the synchrony between the first person perspective…
The current methods of assessing tendon health such as clinical examination, imaging techniques, and implanted pressure sensors, are often based on a subjective assessment or are not accurate enough, are extremely expensive, or are limited…
Wearable haptic interventions offer promising support for relaxation through slow, vibrotactile biofeedback. Despite their potential, current applications focus on stress-inducing procedures and fixed vibration patterns, with limited…
The perception and recognition of the surroundings is one of the essential tasks for a robot. With preliminary knowledge about a target object, it can perform various manipulation tasks such as rolling motion, palpation, and force control.…
An accurate estimate of limb position is necessary for movement. Where we localize our unseen hand after a reach depends on felt hand position, or proprioception, but often only predicted sensory consequences based on efference copies of…
Vision-only grasping systems are fundamentally constrained by calibration errors, sensor noise, and grasp pose prediction inaccuracies, leading to unavoidable contact uncertainty in the final stage of grasping. High-bandwidth tactile…
This report presents the experimental methodology and a step-by-step guide for gathering data on how aging influences tactile surface perception in decision and action. The experiments consist of a set of trials in which the ability to…
Can a robot grasp an unknown object without seeing it? In this paper, we present a tactile-sensing based approach to this challenging problem of grasping novel objects without prior knowledge of their location or physical properties. Our…
Pseudo-haptic techniques are used to modify haptic perception by appropriately changing visual feedback to body movements. Based on the knowledge that tendon vibration can affect our somatosensory perception, this paper proposes a method…
Anthropomorphic underactuated hands are valued for their structural simplicity and inherent adaptability. However, the uncertainty arising from interdependent joint motions makes it challenging to capture various grasp states during…
Gait rehabilitation interventions targeting paretic propulsion can improve walking speed and function in individuals post-stroke. Previous work has demonstrated that real-time biofeedback targeting anterior ground reaction forces (AGRFs)…
Smart assistive technologies such as sensor-based footwear and walking aids offer promising opportunities for gait rehabilitation through real-time feedback and patient-centered monitoring. While biofeedback applications show great…
Positive biomechanical outcomes have been reported with lower-limb exoskeletons in laboratory settings, but these devices have difficulty delivering appropriate assistance in synchrony with human gait as the task or rate of phase…
Pressure ulcers are recognized as a major health issue in individuals with spinal cord injuries and new approaches to prevent this pathology are necessary. An innovative health strategy is being developed through the use of computer and…
Prehensile autonomous manipulation, such as peg insertion, tool use, or assembly, require precise in-hand understanding of the object pose and the extrinsic contacts made during interactions. Providing accurate estimation of pose and…
