Control System and Graphical User Interface Design of an Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation Robot
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-21)Stroke is one of the leading causes of death, physical disability, and loss of brain functionality each year, especially amongst older adults. The ability to access good quality post-stroke rehabilitation exercises is ... -
Development of an Integrated Model of Primary Visual Cortex
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-16)Network-level models of visual processing have potentially important insights for applications such as computer vision and robotics. Primary visual cortex is a key stage of visual processing with involvement in many circuits ... -
Energy Regeneration and Environment Sensing for Robotic Leg Prostheses and Exoskeletons
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Robotic leg prostheses and exoskeletons can provide powered locomotor assistance to older adults and/or persons with physical disabilities. However, limitations in automated control and energy-efficient actuation have ... -
Integrating Affective Expressions into Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue to Improve Human-Robot Communication
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-13)Unexplained or ambiguous behaviours of rescue robots can lead to inefficient collaborations between humans and robots in robot-assisted SAR teams. To date, rescue robots do not have the ability to interact with humans on ... -
Task-Parameterized Transformer for Learning Gripper Trajectory from Demonstrations
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-26)The goal of learning from demonstration or imitation learning is to teach the model to generalize across unseen tasks based on available demonstrations. This ability can be important for the stable performance of a robot ...
