Concept of a soft exosuit for the support of leg function in rehabilitation

In the past couple of years, the concept of exosuits has emerged. These soft, robotic devices are primarily made of textiles and can be worn like clothes. They assist the user during specific motions by transmitting forces around the human joints making us ...

Actuator With Angle-Dependent Elasticity for Biomimetic Transfemoral Prostheses

Serge Pfeifer

Despite tremendous improvements in recent years, lower-limb prostheses are still inferior to their biological counterparts. Most powered knee joints use impedance control, but it is unknown which impedance profiles are needed to replicate physiological beh ...

Toward the Development of a Hand-Held Surgical Robot for Laparoscopy

Jamie Paik

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), which typically involves endoscopic camera and laparoscopic instruments may seem to be the ideal surgical procedure for its apparent benefits. However, in comparison to open surgeries, the spatial and mechanical tool limit ...

Automatic vs. human question answering over multimedia meeting recordings

Andrei Popescu-Belis, Quan Le

Information access in meeting recordings can be assisted by meeting browsers, or can be fully automated following a question-answering (QA) approach. An information access task is defined, aiming at discriminating true vs. false parallel statements about f ...

Online learning of the body schema

Aude Billard, Eric Sauser, Micha Hersch

We present an algorithm enabling a humanoid robot to visually learn its body schema, knowing only the number of degrees of freedom in each limb. By “body schema” we mean the joint positions and orientations and thus the kinematic function. The learning is ...
