Bilateral Rehabilitation System Using Bilateral or Unilateral Assistive Robots Developed by Kagawa University Research Team

To treat hemiplegic patients with unilateral paralysis, a bilateral rehabilitation system using bilateral or unilateral assistive robots has been developed. However, the challenge of promoting coordination between bilateral limbs with flexible robot assistance remains to be addressed.The research team at Kagawa University has published a paper titled An EMG‑Based Biomimetic Variable Stiffness Modulation Strategy for … Read more

Enhancing Payload Capacity of Flexible Microbots

In the field of artificial intelligence and robotics, the development of flexible microbots is entering the fast lane. They can not only perform colonoscopies and minimally invasive surgeries but also delicately retouch classical paintings. This is all thanks to passive compliance technology, which allows robots to adjust their state according to task requirements, improving efficiency … Read more
