Background: We evaluated the effectiveness of robot-assisted motion and activity in
additional to physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) on stroke patients with hand …

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether passive robotic-assisted hand
motion, in addition to standard rehabilitation, would reduce hand pain, edema, or spasticity …

This work proposes a new shape memory actuator based on a slider and slot mechanism.
The device is composed by two couples of opposed SMA coil elements. The SMA elements …

This study aims at introducing a numerical algorithm based on fuzzy logic to solve the
robotic inverse kinematic problem. The increase of robot complexity requires fast and robust …

Wheelchair-Mounted Robotic Arms have been used to help impaired people to reach
objects and perform essential activities in an autonomous way. Different available models …

This paper presents a fuzzy logic to solve the inverse kinematics problem. As the complexity
of robot increases, obtaining the inverse kinematics solution requires the solution of non …

This paper presents an innovative mechanical actuator using a shape memory alloy (SMA)
with a cooling system based on combined thermoelectric effect and forced air cooling …

Various definitions of mechatronics have been developed over time, each of which
emphasizes a slightly different origin and aim. One of the most accurate definition of …
