A decade retrospective of medical robotics research from 2010 to 2020.

Science robotics
Robotics is a forward-looking discipline. Attention is focused on identifying the next grand challenges. In an applied field such as medical robotics, however, it is important to plan the future based on a clear understanding of what the research com...

Robotic end-to-end fusion of microtubules powered by kinesin.

Science robotics
The active assembly of molecules by nanorobots has advanced greatly since “molecular manufacturing”—that is, the use of nanoscale tools to build molecular structures—was proposed. In contrast to a catalyst, which accelerates a reaction by smoothing t...

Vital signal sensing and manipulation of a microscale organ with a multifunctional soft gripper.

Science robotics
Soft grippers that incorporate functional materials are important in the development of mechanically compliant and multifunctional interfaces for both sensing and stimulating soft objects and organisms. In particular, the capability for firm and deli...

A professional slackliner robot.

Science robotics
A multimodal robot demonstrates mobility and balance with the synchronous use of legs and propellers.

How adaptation, training, and customization contribute to benefits from exoskeleton assistance.

Science robotics
Exoskeletons can enhance human mobility, but we still know little about why they are effective. For example, we do not know the relative importance of training, how much is required, or what type is most effective; how people adapt with the device; o...

Neglected physical human-robot interaction may explain variable outcomes in gait neurorehabilitation research.

Science robotics
During gait neurorehabilitation, many factors influence the quality of gait patterns, particularly the chosen body-weight support (BWS) device. Consequently, robotic BWS devices play a key role in gait rehabilitation of people with neurological disor...

The relevance of signal timing in human-robot collaborative manipulation.

Science robotics
To achieve a seamless human-robot collaboration, it is crucial that robots express their intentions without perturbating or interrupting the task that a human partner is performing at that moment. Although it has not received much attention so far, t...

Persuasive robots should avoid authority: The effects of formal and real authority on persuasion in human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
Social robots must take on many roles when interacting with people in everyday settings, some of which may be authoritative, such as a nurse, teacher, or guard. It is important to investigate whether and how authoritative robots can influence people ...
