Establishing Translational Research Pipelines for Smart Devices
2012-09-05
The development of a translational research path has traditionally been a haphazard approach, filtering technologies so that the ‘best of breed’ may ultimately succeed. The conversion ratio of brilliant ideas to useful devices remains suboptimal, as many ‘fail to progress’. The reality of...

Highway Lane change under uncertainty with Deep Reinforcement Learning based motion planner
DownloadSpring 2020
Motion Planning is a fundamental component of a mobile robot to reach its goal safely avoiding collision. For a self-driving car on a highway, the presence of non-communicating vehicles, specially those whose intent is unknown, creates a lot of uncertainty for the motion planner in generating a...

Immediate and Long-term Effects of Exercise Rehabilitation on Daily Physical Activity of Patients with Cardiopulmonary Disorders
DownloadSpring 2016
It is well known that there is an inverse relationship between physical activity (PA) and mortality in patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Consequently, PA is considered the core component of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs. Despite the health benefits, the adherence to regular PA...

Teng Li, Ali Torabi, Hongjun Xing, Mahdi Tavakoli
ABSTRACT: Human perceptual sensitivity of various types of forces, e.g., stiffness and friction, is important for surgeons during robotic surgeries such as needle insertion and palpation. However, force feedback from robot end-effector is usually a combination of desired and undesired force...
