A New Home-Based Upper- and Lower-Limb Telerehabilitation Platform with Experimental Validation.

The world is witnessing interesting challenges in several fields, including medicine. Solutions to many of these challenges are being developed in the field of artificial intelligence. As a result, artificial intelligence techniques can be used in telerehabilitation to facilitate the work of doctors and to find methods that can be used to better treat methods that can be used to better treat patients.

Self-organizing neural network for reproducing human postural mode alternation through deep reinforcement learning.

A self-organized phenomenon in postural coordination is essential for understanding the auto-switching mechanism of in-phase and anti-phase postural coordination modes during standing and related supra-postural activities. Previously, a model-based approach was proposed to reproduce such self-organized phenomenon. However, if we set this problem including the process of how we establish the internal predictive model in our central nervous system, the learning process is critical to be considered for establishing a neural network for managing adaptive postural control.

Classification of Human Balance Recovery Strategies Through Kinematic Motor Synergy Analysis.

A key problem in human balance recovery lies in understanding the mechanism of balance behavior with redundant bio-mechanical motors. Motor synergy has been known as an efficient tool to analyze characteristics of motion behavior and reconstruct control command. In this paper, motor synergy analysis for different control strategies is proposed to analyze different balance motion coordination for various levels of pushing force, and understand the coordination of human multiple joints regarding balance recovery.

Reproducing Human Arm Strategy and Its Contribution to Balance Recovery Through Model Predictive Control.

The study of human balance recovery strategies is important for human balance rehabilitation and humanoid robot balance control. To date, many efforts have been made to improve balance during quiet standing and walking motions. Arm usage (arm strategy) has been proposed to control the balance during walking motion in the literature.

Some control-related issues in mini-robotics for endoluminal surgery.

This paper introduces some issues related to the development of robotics for endoluminal surgery from control point of view. Endoluminal surgery are incisionless procedures performed through natural orifices within the natural pathways. New devices are then required to achieve these new surgical procedures.
