A case study of technology transfer: Rehabilitative engineering at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital [PDF]
The transfer of NASA technolgy to rehabilitative applications of artificial limbs is studied. Human factors engineering activities range from orthotic manipulators to tiny dc motors and transducers to detect and transmit voluntary control signals.

A Bio-Inspired Tensegrity Manipulator with Multi-DOF, Structurally Compliant Joints
, 2016 Most traditional robotic mechanisms feature inelastic joints that are unable to robustly handle large deformations and off-axis moments. As a result, the applied loads are transferred rigidly throughout the entire structure.

Active Longitudes Revealed by Large-scale and Long-lived Coronal Streamers [PDF]
, 2011 We use time-series ultraviolet full sun images to construct limb-synoptic maps of the Sun. On these maps, large-scale, long-lived coronal streamers appear as repetitive sinusoid-like arcs projected over the polar regions. They are caused by high altitude

Biomechanical parameters of gait among transtibial amputees: a review
São Paulo Medical JournalRehabilitation for lower-limb amputees needs to focus on restoration of daily functions and independent locomotion. As gait is reestablished, reorganization of the motor pattern takes place in order to optimize the functions of the locomotor system ...

Learning to Control Self-Assembling Morphologies: A Study of Generalization via Modularity [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Contemporary sensorimotor learning approaches typically start with an existing complex agent (e.g., a robotic arm), which they learn to control. In contrast, this paper investigates a modular co-evolution strategy: a collection of primitive agents learns to dynamically self-assemble into composite bodies while also learning to coordinate their behavior

Adaptive Generation of Phantom Limbs Using Visible Hierarchical Autoencoders [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 This paper proposed a hierarchical visible autoencoder in the adaptive phantom limbs generation according to the kinetic behavior of functional body-parts, which are measured by heterogeneous kinetic sensors. The proposed visible hierarchical autoencoder consists of interpretable and multi-correlated autoencoder pipelines, which is directly derived ...
