Design and Development of an Upper Limb Rehabilitative Robot with Dual Functionality
(2021-07-24)The design of an upper limb rehabilitation robot for post-stroke patients is considered a benchmark problem regarding improving functionality and ensuring better human–robot interaction (HRI). Existing upper limb robots ... -
Quantitative peel test for thin films/layers based on a coupled parametric and statistical study
(2019-12-24)The adhesion strength of thin films is critical to the durability of micro and nanofabricated devices. However, current testing methods are imprecise and do not produce quantitative results necessary for design specifications. ... -
Ultrasonic Sensing and Actuation in Laminate Structures Using Bondline-Embedded d35 Piezoelectric Sensors
(2018-11-11)Ultrasonic systems employing embedded piezoelectric transducers have seen increased interest in recent years. The ability to sense, actuate, and analyze the wave propagation modes in engineering structures has been fundamental ... -
Novel Robust Control of a 7-DOF Exoskeleton Robot
(2018-09-07)This paper proposes a novel robust control method for the control of a 7-DOF exoskeleton robot. The external disturbances and unknown dynamics in the form of friction forces, different upper-limb's mass, backlash, and input ... -
Application of Sharp- and Diffuse-Front Models for Predicting Mass Gain and Saturation in Fibrous Wicks
(2018-05-14)Wicking as imbibitional flow of a liquid driven by capillary pressure has been an important topic in different areas from simple applications like air refreshers and lightening torches to high-tech one such as Propellant ... -
Darcy's Law-Based Model for Predicting Wicking of Liquids in Glass-Fiber Wicks
(2017-01-01)Spontaneous imbibition of liquids in glass-fiber wicks, where a liquid-front progresses during the wicknig process, is investigated experimentally and modeled using the concepts of single-phase flow in porous media. In ... -
Optimal Base Placement of a 6-DOFs Robot to Cover Essential Activities of Daily Living
(2022-12-23)The number of individuals with upper or lower extremities dysfunction (ULED) has considerably increased in the past decades resulting in a high economic burden for the families and society. Individuals with ULEDs require ... -
Interactive IIoT-Based 5DOF Robotic Arm for Upper Limb Telerehabilitation
(2022-10-22)Significant advancements in contemporary telemedicine applications enforce the demand for effective and intuitive telerehabilitation tools. Telerehabilitation can minimize the distance, travel burden, and costs between ... -
Development of an End-Effector Type Therapeutic Robot with Sliding Mode Control for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation
(2022-09-21)Geriatric disorders, strokes, spinal cord injuries, trauma, and workplace injuries are all prominent causes of upper limb disability. A two-degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) end-effector type robot, iTbot (intelligent therapeutic ... -
Self-assembled levitating clusters of water droplets: pattern-formation and stability
(2017-05-15)Water forms ordered hexagonally symmetric structures (snow crystals) in its solid state, however not as liquid. Typically, mists and clouds are composed of randomly moving small droplets lacking any ordered structure. ...
