Assimilation of virtual legs and perception of floor texture by complete paraplegic patients receiving artificial tactile feedback

Hannes Bleuler, Solaiman Shokur, Simon Gallo, Miguel Nicolelis

Spinal cord injuries disrupt bidirectional communication between the patient's brain and body. Here, we demonstrate a new approach for reproducing lower limb somatosensory feedback in paraplegics by remapping missing leg/foot tactile sensations onto the sk ...

Long-Term Training with a Brain-Machine Interface-Based Gait Protocol Induces Partial Neurological Recovery in Paraplegic Patients

Hannes Bleuler, Solaiman Shokur, Simon Gallo, Miguel Nicolelis

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) provide a new assistive strategy aimed at restoring mobility in severely paralyzed patients. Yet, no study in animals or in human subjects has indicated that long-term BMI training could induce any type of clinical recovery. ...

A 24 mm diameter fibre positioner for spectroscopic surveys

Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Philipp Hörler

One of the big research topics in modern cosmology is the mystery of dark Energy. To unveil the secret, cosmologists want to measure precisely the evolution of large scale structures in the universe. One way of doing so is to measure the 3D location of a h ...

Despite technical advances in brain machine interfaces (BMI), for as-yet unknown reasons the ability to control a BMI remains limited to a subset of users. We investigate whether individual differences in BMI control based on motor imagery (MI) are related ...

Series Elastic Actuation for Assistive Orthotic Devices: Case Study of Pneumatic Actuator

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jonathan Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Wearable assistive robotics is a modern field where intelligent actuated systems work in collaboration with the body to replace a lost limb, to enhance performances (e.g. carrying load, walking, running, jumping) or to train or rehabilitate specific activi ...

A Novel Flexible PCB Conductive Structure for Electrodynamic Bearings and Measurement in its Induced Voltage

Hannes Bleuler, Guoping Ding

This paper proposes the concept of FlexPCB(flexible Printed Circuit Board) conductive structure for electrodynamic bearings. It has three main advantages: easy "printing" of considerably thin conductive wires, resulting in potential reduction in stray eddy ...

Control of a Supernumerary Robotic Hand by Foot: An Experimental Study in Virtual Reality

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Etienne Burdet, Elahe Abdi

In the operational theater, the surgical team could highly benefit from a robotic supplementary hand under the surgeon's full control. The surgeon may so become more autonomous; this may reduce communication errors with the assistants and take over difficu ...

Control Strategies for Active Lower Extremity Prosthetics and Orthotics: A Review

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy, Jeremy Olivier

Technological advancements have led to the development of numerous wearable robotic devices for the physical assistance and restoration of human locomotion. While many challenges remain with respect to the mechanical design of such devices, it is at least ...

A flexible multimodal tactile display for delivering shape and material information

Hannes Bleuler, Simon Gallo

The growing complexity of telemanipulation tasks calls for increased realism and intuitiveness of the interaction between the user and the master control. Humans perceive multiple haptic features of an object such as its stiffness, temperature, and shape, ...
