Denoising and Chaotic Feature Extraction of Electrocardial Signals for Driver Fatigue Detection by Kolmogorov Entropy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a detection method of driver fatigue by use of electrocardial signals. First, lifting wavelet transform (LWT) was used to reduce signal noise and its effect was confirmed by applying it to the denoising ...
Design and Compliant Control of a Piggyback Transfer Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Patient transfer, such as lifting and moving a bedridden patient from a bed to a wheelchair or a pedestal pan, is one of the most physically challenging tasks in nursing care. Although many transfer devices have been ...
Inertial Measurement Unit-Based Optimization Control of a Soft Exosuit for Hip Extension and Flexion Assistance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The optimization of the assistive force of a soft exosuit is crucial to the assistive effect. In this paper, an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based optimization controller was designed to provide effective hip extension ...
Human-Comfort Evaluation for a Patient-Transfer Robot Through a Human–Robot Mechanical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Patient-transfer robot, which can transfer a bedridden care receiver from a bed to a wheelchair or a pedestal pan and back, was not widely used due to inadequate safety and comfort. A human comfort evaluation function based ...
Tapered Origami Tubes With Non-Planar Cross Sections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigidly foldable origami tubes are widely used in origami-inspired engineering designs. Here, using a mechanism construction process, we show that these tubes can be combined with tapered adding parts to form new tubes ...
Unconstrained Measurement of Respiration Motions of Chest and Abdomen Using a Tactile Sensor Sheet in Supine Position on Bed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The management of health through daily monitoring of respiration is of major importance for early diagnosis to prevent respiratory and circulatory diseases. Such daily health monitoring is possible only if the monitoring ...
A Novel Evaluation Index and Optimization Method for Ankle Rehabilitation Robots Based on Ankle-Foot Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ability of ankle rehabilitation robots to accurately mimicking the actual human ankle motion is an important judgment basis for robot-assisted rehabilitation training. This paper proposes an evaluation index and mechanism ...
