Recovery behavior of artificial skin materials after object contact
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
As social robots and lifelike prosthetics get into closer contact with humans, understanding the mechanical behavior of the embedding skin materials for prosthetic and social robotic fingertips is of great importance. The ...
The characterization of the kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint for an artificial ankle joint design
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint (talocrural region) in normal subjects provide important information for the design of rehabilitation robots, below-knee prostheses, ankle-foot orthoses, and exoskeletons. ...
Real-time robotic avatar control using fuzzy gaze-classification for people with disability
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Robotic control with gaze-classification has been an area of interest for quite some time. In this paper, a novel solution of implementing sensing system with intelligent visualization has been presented. Such a system can ...
Towards enhanced control of upper prosthetic limbs: A force-myographic approach
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Reliable decoding of a user's intention is a key step to control prosthetic devices. Force myography (FMG) is often used to assess topographic force patterns resulting from volumetric changes of activated muscles. However, ...
Fault tolerant tactile sensor arrays for prosthesis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The demand for sensor networks has grown significantly over the last decade. These networks operate as a single unit, accumulating information from individual sensor nodes. Due to a matrix-like topology of these arrays, a ...
Design of a hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and simulation of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to assist human walking. Design requirements were established based on a quantitative study of published data, simulations of human walking, and ...
Culture as a driver for the design of social robots for Autism spectrum disorder interventions in the Middle East
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we discuss the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Gulf region. We examine the importance of providing state-of-the-art ASD interventions, and highlight social robots as therapeutic tools ...
