Evaluation of a Virtual Reality-Based Wearable Device for Patients with Ankle Movement Disorders
Introduction: Rehabilitation is one of the priorities that should be performed on patients with stroke injuries or accidents leading to disability. This study aimed to evaluate the equipment and designed virtual reality environment to improve the treatment of patients with mobility problems in the lower torso (ankle). Method: The research consisted of three basic parts. In the section of mechan...

متن کاملMulti-Fingered Haptic Palpation utilizing Granular Jamming Stiffness Feedback Actuators
This paper describes a multi-fingered haptic palpation method using stiffness feedback actuators for simulating tissue palpation procedures in traditional and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Soft tissue stiffness is simulated by changing the stiffness property of the actuator during palpation. For the first time, granular jamming and pneumatic air actuation are combined together to r...
متن کاملWearable Vibrotactile Haptic Device for Stiffness Discrimination during Virtual Interactions
In this paper, we discuss the development of cost effective, wireless, and wearable vibrotactile haptic device for stiffness perception during an interaction with virtual objects. Our experimental setup consists of haptic device with five vibrotactile actuators, virtual reality environment tailored in Unity 3D integrating the Oculus Rift Head Mounted Display (HMD) and the Leap Motion controller...
متن کاملResonance-based Control Method for Multi-Joint Robot with Variable Joint Stiffness
This study presents resonance-based control methods proposed by the authors for multi-joint robots. The proposed control methods adjust stiffness of mechanical elements installed in each joint of the robots to minimize actuator torque while generating desired periodic motions. Some of these control method adjust not only stiffness but also motion patterns to reduce further actuator torque. Adva...
