The foreign objects on utility poles may damage power lines and cause significant disruptions in electricity supply. A widely used approach to address this issue is for qualified personnel to climb on the pole and remove the foreign objects in a timely manner using an insulating tube. However, prolo
Quantifying post-stroke patient motor function is important for assessing rehabilitation progress and optimizing the behavior of adaptive rehabilitation robots. To this end, researchers have increasing turned to the concept of muscle synergies, which encodes the simplified neuromuscular control stra
This letter proposes a novel human-robot co-adaptation framework for robust and accurate user intent recognition, specifically in the context of automatic control in assistance robots such as neural prosthetics and rehabilitation devices empowered by electrophysiological signals. Our goal is to inco
Robot-assisted eye-hand coordination rehabilitation training system is extremely urgent to study since recent evidence suggests that eye-hand coordination can be brutally disturbed by stroke with critical consequences on motor behavior. In this paper, we develop a robot-assisted eye-hand coordinatio…
Assist-as-needed (AAN) control strategy is applied in robot-aided therapy to promote the subject's engagement with minimal assistance. Current methods are based on physical measurements or employ a model to estimate the subject's engagement, which indirectly reflects the physiology of the subject or
In this paper an automated data labeling (ADL) neural network is proposed to streamline dataset collecting for real-time predicting the continuous motion of hand and wrist, these gestures are only decoded from a surface electromyography (sEMG) array of eight channels. Unlike collecting both the bio-…
The brain-machine interface (BMI) has been reported to offer the potential for controlling the assistive robot for the motor impaired people, using the non-invasively obtained electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, the EEG based BMI may not be sufficient and stable to drive the robot moving fr…
