Reliable estimation of neuromuscular activation is a key enabler for adaptive and personalized control in wearable robotics. However, surface electromyography (EMG) remains difficult to deploy robustl…
Upper-limb exoskeletons (ULEs) have the potential to restore functional independence in individuals with severe motor impairments; however, the clinical relevance of wrist degrees of freedom (DoF), pa…
Wrist function is essential in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). However, there is limited experimental evidence on the functional impact of wrist Abduction-Adduction (Ab-Ad) joint assista…
Wrist exoskeletons play a vital role in rehabilitation and assistive applications, yet conventional actuation mechanisms such as electric motors or pneumatics often introduce undesirable weight, frict…
Designing generalizable control policies for lower-limb exoskeletons remains fundamentally constrained by exhaustive data collection or iterative optimization procedures, which limit accessibility to …
World models promise a paradigm shift in robotics, where an agent learns the underlying physics of its environment once to enable efficient planning and behavior learning. However, current world model…
Precise control of lower limb exoskeletons during sit-to-stand (STS) transitions remains a central challenge in rehabilitation robotics owing to the highly nonlinear, time-varying dynamics of the huma…
Operations in hazardous environments put humans, animals, and machines at high risk for physically damaging consequences. In contrast to humans and animals, quadruped robots cannot naturally identify …
Cheetahs are characterized by large spinal flexion and extension during high-speed running, yet the dynamical role of the phase relationship between spinal motion and limb support remains unclear. We …
Origami-inspired robots offer rapid, accessible design and manufacture with diverse functionalities. In particular, origami robots without conventional electronics have the unique advantage of functio…
Soft robots are well suited for contact-rich tasks due to their compliance, yet this property makes accurate and tractable modeling challenging. Planning motions with dynamically-feasible trajectories…
Age-related mobility decline is frequently accompanied by a redistribution of joint kinetics, where older adults compensate for reduced ankle function by increasing demand on the hip. Paradoxically, t…
Extremely Large Antenna Arrays (ELAA) operating at sub-terahertz frequencies introduce a regime where near-field Fresnel propagation and high-mobility carrier Doppler interact simultaneously, creating…
Robot-assisted therapy can deliver high-dose, task-specific training after neurologic injury, but most systems act primarily at the limb level-engaging the impaired neural circuits only indirectly-whi…
This paper introduces Galactic Bioware's Life Support System, a semi-closed-circuit breathing apparatus designed for integration into a positive-pressure firefighting suit and governed by an AI contro…
Assistive robotic devices, like soft lower-limb exoskeletons or exosuits, are widely spreading with the promise of helping people in everyday life. To make such systems adaptive to the variety of user…
In this paper, we propose a novel framework that allows therapists to teach robot-assisted rehabilitation exercises remotely via RGB-D video. Our system encodes demonstrations as 6-DoF body-centric tr…
Successful robot-mediated rehabilitation requires designing games and robot interventions that promote healthy motor practice. However, the interplay between a given user's neuromotor behavior, the ga…
In human-robot collaboration, a robot's expression of hesitancy is a critical factor that shapes human coordination strategies, attention allocation, and safety-related judgments. However, designing h…
Effective exoskeleton assistance requires co-adaptation: as the device alters joint dynamics, the user reorganizes neuromuscular coordination, creating a non-stationary learning problem. Most learning…
