The human lower extremity plays a vital role in locomotion, posture, and weight-bearing through coordinated motion at the hip, knee, and ankle joints. These joints facilitate essential functions including flexion, extension, and internal and external...
This work presents an open-source simulation framework designed to extend the capabilities of the VRX environment for developing and validating control strategies for surface robotic vehicles. The platform features a custom monohull, kayak-type USV w...
LEGO SPIKE Prime robots (The LEGO Group, Billund, Denmark) are widely used in educational settings to foster STEM skills and develop problem-solving competencies. A common task in robotics classes and competitions is moving and controlling wheeled ve...
An incision point acts as the pivot point when a minimally invasive surgery procedure is applied. The assistive robot arms employed for such operation must have the capability to perform a remote center of motion (RCM) at this pivot point. Other than...
Accurate modeling and simulation of lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton (LLRE) enables effective control resulting in enhanced performance and ensuring efficient rehabilitation. There are two primary objectives of this study. First is to validate t...
Legged robots are widely recognised as one of the most ambitious frontiers in robotics, promising mobility and adaptability in environments where wheels and tracks cannot operate [...]
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, with survivors often facing significant challenges in regaining upper-limb functionality. In response, robotic rehabilitation systems have emerged as promising tools to enhance post-stroke...
A Nitinol rod-driven discrete continuum robot with two sections and eight units was developed to support clinicians in performing transoral surgery. The robot measures 120 mm in length, with each unit having a diameter of 15 mm and a height of 20 mm....
To address the limited adaptability of traditional fixed-parameter strategies for hexapod robots operating in multi-material terrain environments, this study proposes a terrain-aware gait optimization method based on an improved particle swarm optimi...
Robot energy consumption is a prominent challenge in intelligent manufacturing and construction. Reducing energy consumption during robot trajectory execution is an urgent issue requiring immediate attention. In view of the shortcomings of traditiona...
