A tracking device for a wearable high-DOF passive hand exoskeleton [PDF]
2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2021 In previous work, we developed an exoskeleton (HandSOME II) that allows movement at 15 hand degrees of freedom (DOF) and is intended for take-home use. An activity tracking device was developed in order to track index finger movement with a pair of magnetometers and magnet. The goal was to detect grip attempts by the individual.

The Effects of Exoskeleton Assistance at the Ankle on Sensory Integration During Standing Balance
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 Exoskeleton devices can reduce metabolic cost, increase walking speed, and augment load-carrying capacity. However, little is known about the effects of powered assistance on the sensory information required to achieve these tasks. To learn how to use an

A Differentiable Dynamic Model for Musculoskeletal Simulation and Exoskeleton Control
Biosensors, 2022 An exoskeleton, a wearable device, was designed based on the user’s physical and cognitive interactions. The control of the exoskeleton uses biomedical signals reflecting the user intention as input, and its algorithm is calculated as an output to make ...

Development of the Stiffenable Exoskeleton Device for a Colonoscopy [PDF]
Journal of Medical Devices, 2009 Colonoscopy provides a minimally invasive tool for examining and treating the colon without surgery, but current colonoscope designs still cause a degree of pain and mechanical trauma to the colon wall. The most common colonoscopes are long tubes inserted through the rectum with fiber optic lights, cameras, and biopsy tools on the distal end.
