Visible to the public Hybrid Systems for Modeling, Performing and Teaching the Language of Surgery

Submitted by gdhager on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 2:36pm. Contributor:

The objective of this research is to develop new principles for creating and comparing models of skilled human activities, and to apply those models to systems for teaching, training, and assisting humans performing these activities. The models investigated will include both hybrid systems and language-based models. The research will focus on modeling surgical manipulations during robotic minimally invasive surgery.

Visible to the public Cybernetic Interfaces for the Restoration of Human Movement Through Functional Electrical Stimulation

Submitted by mtresch on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 1:39pm. Contributors:

The objective of this research is to develop an intuitive user interface for functional electrical stimulation (FES), which uses surgically-implanted electrodes to stimulate muscles in spinal cord-injured (SCI) patients. The challenge is to enable high-level tetraplegic patients to regain the use of their own arm.
