Data-driven Characterization of Human Interaction for Model-based Control of Powered Prostheses [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
This paper proposes a data-driven method for powered prosthesis control that achieves stable walking without the need for additional sensors on the human. The key idea is to extract the nominal gait and the human interaction information from motion capture data, and reconstruct the walking behavior with a dynamic model of the human-prosthesis system ...

Human-centered Electric Prosthetic (HELP) Hand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Through a partnership with Indian non-profit Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti, we designed a functional, robust, and and low cost electrically powered prosthetic hand that communicates with unilateral, transradial, urban Indian amputees through a

A Robotic Prosthesis for an Amputee Drummer [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role fingers play in drumming. This primarily includes controlling the manner in which the drum stick rebounds after initial impact.

Trip Recovery in Lower-Limb Prostheses using Reachable Sets of Predicted Human Motion [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
People with lower-limb loss, the majority of which use passive prostheses, exhibit a high incidence of falls each year. Powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential to reduce fall rates by actively helping the user recover from a stumble, but the unpredictability of the human response makes it difficult to design controllers that ensure a ...

Complications of Resection Arthroplasty in Two-Stage Revision for the Treatment of Periprosthetic Hip Joint Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Little data is available regarding complications associated with resection arthroplasty in the treatment of hip periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). We assessed complications during and after two-stage revision using resection arthroplasty.

Disentangling Contact Location for Stretchable Tactile Sensors from Soft Waveguide Ultrasonic Scatter Signals

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a novel data‐driven approach for force contact location sensing (FCLS), based on scatter signals of the ultrasonic waveguide, with the influence of sensor strain and forces. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed FCLS method has an mean absolute error loss of 0.627 mm and a mean relative error loss of ...
