Disclosed is a device for providing visual perceptual training including an output module and a controller that controls the output module such that the output module outputs an instruction message informing a trainee of a rule related to visual perceptual training, provides a training session for the visual perceptual training, and stores a result in the training session for evaluating cognitive ability of the trainee, wherein the controller may, in the training session, control the output module such that the output module sequentially displays visual objects, check a type of a response of the trainee, determine whether the checked response is correct according to the rule including the first condition and the second condition based on the attribute of the visual object, the display order of the visual object, and the type of the checked response, and output a feedback indicating that the checked response is correct.

Provided are a method and apparatus for adjusting a control parameter value in association with a torque output to provide a force to a user, which, when the user performs a test walk while wearing a wearable device, assesses suitability of the control parameter value used for outputting the torque based on the torque output through the test walk and state information of a joint of the user and adjusts the control parameter value such that the user feels convenience in walking, in order to adjust the control parameter value.

A control method for controlling an actuator (11) connected to a load (50) for handling, the method comprising the steps of: detecting an intention to handle the load (50); applying an increasing command to the actuator (11) until detecting a movement of the actuator (11); storing the value reached by the command when a movement of the actuator (11) is detected; using the stored value reached by the command to determine an estimate of the opposing force exerted by the load (50) for handling; and controlling the actuator by means of a force servocontrol relationship using the estimate of the opposing force exerted by the load (50) for handling in order to establish the commands to be applied to the actuator (11).

A cobot (1) arranged to perform the method.

The method for operating the communication robot may include acquiring a spoken utterance of a user positioned within a prescribed range from the massage providing apparatus, tracking a spoken utterance direction of the user from the spoken utterance of the user, orienting the communication robot towards the spoken utterance direction of the user, acquiring a voice command included in the spoken utterance in relation to operation of the massage providing apparatus, and operating the massage providing apparatus according to the voice command.

A system and method for providing massaging within a vehicle that include receiving vehicle dynamic data associated with a real-time dynamic performance of the vehicle as the vehicle is being driven for a predetermined period of time. The system and method also include determining at least one strenuous driving activity associated with a driver of the vehicle based on at least one driving maneuver. The system and method additionally include analyzing positional parameters and movement parameters that are associated with at least one area of a body of the driver that is utilized to conduct the at least one driving maneuver for the predetermined period of time. The system and method further include controlling at least one massaging element disposed within the seat of the vehicle to provide massaging to the at least one area of the body of the driver.

The invention relates to a motorized walker (1) comprising a frame (10) having a front portion (10a) and a rear portion (10b), a pair of wheels (11), with one wheel arranged to support the front portion of the frame, one of the wheels being coupled to a traveling motor (20), said motorized walker (1) being characterized in that: the frame (10) is equipped with two verticalization ramps (100) having a longitudinal axis forming an angle with an axis perpendicular to the ground, between 20° and 40°, each being associated with an electronic handle (200) movable in translation, it comprises at least one verticalization motor (30) arranged to allow movement of the electronic handles (200), and at least one of the electronic handles (200) comprises one or more sensors coupled to a control module (40) configured to control the verticalization motor (30) and the traveling motor (20).

A distributed patient monitoring system comprises at least one standalone portable ultrasound imaging unit configured to be fixed to a stable position against the skin on a patient's body and capable of prolonged ultrasound data acquisition, including an ultrasound imaging array, transmit-receive circuitry, a beamformer, backend signal and image processing subsystem, power and communication subsystems, and a monitoring workstation connected to each standalone portable ultrasound imaging unit configured to request and receive ultrasound imaging information from each standalone portable ultrasound imaging unit, and configured to analyze and display acquired ultrasound information.

A motion assistance apparatus may include a shank frame configured to support a shank of a user, a thigh frame configured to rotate relative to the shank frame and support a thigh of the user, and a driving frame configured to assist a motion of a hip joint of the user by transmitting power directly or indirectly to the shank frame.

A driving system of a hybrid gait rehabilitation robot include: a driving unit that is connected to a footrest of the gait rehabilitation robot and transmits a driving force such that the robot operates at a preset speed; a speed detection unit that detects a gait speed of an occupant; and a control unit that controls a speed of the driving unit by comparing the detected speed of the speed detection unit with a speed applied by the driving unit. The driving unit transmits power toward the occupant, but the driving force of the occupant is not transmitted to the driving unit.

A system and method for automated generation of control signals for sexual stimulation devices from usage history and other data. The system and method involve analyzing historical usage and other data for a user for a device or devices, processing the data through machine learning algorithms, and generating new or recombined patterns of stimulation based on the outputs from the machine learning algorithms. The resulting automated control signals represent partially or fully customized stimulation for a given user which evolve over time as the user continues to use the device or devices.
