What started out as a response to labor shortages in poultry processing plants during the COVID-19 pandemic has turned into a robotics system that can learn by imitating human movements to handle ...

Two people with tetraplegia were able to reach for and grasp objects in three-dimensional space with robotic arms that they controlled directly with brain activity. They used the BrainGate neural ...

[Ray Kampmeier] just finished writing some code to allow him to control his robotic arm using force-sensitive hand gestures! He calls it the Robo Marionette. He’s using a MeArm 4 DOF robotic arm, a ...

Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined actions of large populations of widely tuned neurons rather than by small numbers of highly tuned ...

The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...

Prof. Yuling Yan is the Phil and Bobbie Sanfilippo Professor and the Founding Chair of the Department of Bioengineering at SCU. She received a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Keio ...

Abstract: This research serves as an educational case study in robotics focusing on the motion control of a robotic arm to autonomously press the elevator’s button. The control system is built using ...

Abstract: The current paper is a new method to optimize the control of robotic arms in dynamic task settings by implementing a Hybrid Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approach based on Proximal ...
