Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) provide additional wearable limbs to enhance the user’s physical abilities. Most SRLs employ rigid structures, resulting in uncomfortable wearing experience and insufficient flexible manipulation. As a new type of SRL, soft SRLs offer operational flexibility, light…
This paper presents the development of a quadrotor vehicle capable of movement between air and water environments. The design challenges, including torque matching in the propulsion system, balance maintenance in different mediums, and waterproofing requirements, are discussed. A prototype is constr…
Adversarial contrastive learning (ACL) is considered an effective way to improve the robustness of pre-trained models. In contrastive learning, a projector which consists of multilayer perceptron (MLP) will project high dimension 3D point cloud feature into low dimension for calculating contrastive…
Exoskeleton robots are an exciting potential solution for patients with motor dysfunction to restore their daily activities. This letter introduces a variable stiffness exoskeleton robot (VSA-EXO) with variable stiffness actuators and a voluntary control strategy based on sEMG sensing. A sEMG-driven
Back exoskeletons can reduce low-back pain and injury for workers engaged in manual handling operations. However, conventional back exoskeletons are incompatible with human trunk kinematics, arousing uncomfortable human-exoskeleton interaction and limiting natural human movement. This article propos
