9 Enhancing the Usability of the MANUS Manipulator by Using Visual Servoing
Controlling MANUS, a wheelchair-mounted manipulator, can put a high cognitive load on the end user. Visual servoing techniques can help to reduce... -
3 Toward a Human-Friendly User Interface to Control an Assistive Robot in the Context of Smart Homes
The design of robot dedicated to person with disabilities necessitates users implication in all steps of product development: design solution,... -
21 Newly Designed Rehabilitation Robot System for Walking-Aid
The increase in the life span of many elderly people means that there are more demands for aids to support them in normal life [11]. Previous efforts... -
16 Design and Testing of WREX
A passive gravity-balanced, 4 DoF arm orthosis was built for children with arm weakness such as in muscular dystrophy. The orthosis is identically... -
7 Cooperative Welfare Robot System Using Hand Gesture Instructions
This paper explains the cooperative work system between manipulators and humans using hand gesture instructions. The goal of our system is that the... -
25 Post Stroke Shoulder-Elbow Physiotherapy with Industrial Robots
Robotic motor rehabilitation is a promising approach to rehabilitation of post stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury neuromotor... -
Polymeric Systems for Bioinspired Delivery of Angiogenic Molecules
Growth factors are increasingly utilized to promote regeneration of lost or compromised tissues and organs. However, current strategies applying... -
Biopolyesters in Tissue Engineering Applications
Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of research focused on the development of vital autologous tissue through the use... -
Interfaces to Control Cell-Biomaterial Adhesive Interactions
Cell adhesion to adsorbed proteins and adhesive sequences engineered on surfaces is crucial to cellular and host responses to implanted devices,... -
Case-based Medical Informatics
The “applied” nature distinguishes applied sciences from theoretical sciences. To emphasize this distinction, we begin with a general, meta-level... -
Medical Diagnosis and Prognosis Based on the DNA Microarray Technology
Immense genomic data have been accumulated through various research activities such as the Human Genome Project. A genome is the entire collection of... -
Computerization of Clinical Guidelines: an Application of Medical Document Processing
Clinical Guidelines are being developed as a tool to promote Best Practice in Medicine. They are usually defined as “systematically developed... -
Wearable Devices in Healthcare
The miniaturization of electrical and electronic equipment is certainly not a new phenomenon, and its effects have long been evident in the... -
Structure and interaction forces in colloidal monolayers
The interaction potential between colloidal particles is the key to understand and control the aggregation processes in which they are involved.... -
Spectroscopic mobility probing studies of lecithin organogels
The rigidity of lecithin film into an organogel has been studied via electron paramagnetic resonance and fluorescence spectroscopy. Well-known spin... -

Orientation of ruthenium dipyridophenazine complexes in liposome membranes sensitively controlled by ligand substituents
Liposomes can be deformed to ellipsoidal shapes in a shear flow, and the orientation of chromophores in the lipid bilayers can then be examined with... -
Direct numerical simulation of the mechanism of surface tension auto-oscillation
A theoretical investigation of the surface tension auto-oscillations is performed by direct numerical simulation of the behaviour of a system where a...
