The online learning architecture with edge computing for high-level control for assisting patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The prevalence of mobility impairments due to conditions such as spinal cord injuries, strokes, and degenerative diseases is on the rise globally. Lower-limb exoskeletons have been increasingly recognized as a viable solution for enhancing mobility and rehabilitation for individuals with such impairments.

Introduction to Prosthetic Limbs [PDF]
, 2015 Approximately 2 million people in the Unites States alone have had an amputation, and many of these people use a prosthetic limb daily. The prosthetic limb, which began as a primitive device, is now a highly sophisticated piece of technology.

Enhancing human bodies with extra robotic arms and fingers: The Neural Resource Allocation Problem [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The emergence of robot-based body augmentation promises exciting innovations that will inform robotics, human-machine interaction, and wearable electronics. Even though augmentative devices like extra robotic arms and fingers in many ways build on restorative technologies, they introduce unique challenges for bidirectional human-machine collaboration ...

The homuncular jigsaw: investigations of phantom limb and body awareness following brachial plexus block or avulsion [PDF]
, 2019 Many neuropsychological theories agree that the brain maintains a relatively persistent representation of one's own body, as indicated by vivid "phantom" experiences.

PONet: Robust 3D Human Pose Estimation via Learning Orientations Only [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Conventional 3D human pose estimation relies on first detecting 2D body keypoints and then solving the 2D to 3D correspondence problem.Despite the promising results, this learning paradigm is highly dependent on the quality of the 2D keypoint detector, which is inevitably fragile to occlusions and out-of-image absences.In this paper,we propose a novel ...

Physical synchronization of soft self-oscillating limbs for fast and autonomous locomotion [PDF]
Science 388, 610-615 (2025)Animals achieve robust locomotion by offloading regulation from the brain to physical couplings within the body. In contrast, locomotion in artificial systems often depends on centralized processors. We introduce a rapid and autonomous locomotion strategy with synchronized gaits emerging through physical interactions between self-oscillating limbs and ...

Towards Natural Control of Artificial Limbs [PDF]
, 2014 The use of implantable electrodes has been long thought as the solution for a more natural control of artificial limbs, as these offer access to long-term stable and physiologically appropriate sources of control, as well as the possibility to elicit ...

Transfemoral Prosthesis With Ambulatory Length-Actuation: Design and Preliminary Evaluation
IEEE AccessMost current powered transfemoral prostheses are designed based on replicating normal anatomy with the inclusion of a revolute knee joint. Prosthesis users often have issues achieving proper leg length to maintain balance and perform push-off during ...
