[Biomechanical analysis of sitting-up movement of knee joint after robot-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Navio robot-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) on the biomechanics of knee joint during sitting-up movement, and to determine whether UKA can maintain the biomechanical characteristics of knee jo...

[Optimal lower limb alignment and soft tissue balancing strategy for robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
Lower limb alignment and soft tissue balance are important factors affecting patient satisfaction, clinical functional outcome, and prosthetic long-term survival rate after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Robot-assisted TKA (rTKA) has the advantages o...

Assessment of Muscle Activation of Caregivers Performing Dependent Transfers With a Novel Robotic-Assisted Transfer Device Compared With the Hoyer Advance.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity in caregivers while using a novel robotic-assisted transfer device (Strong Arm) to a clinical standard of care (Hoyer Advance).

Reducing Metabolic Cost During Planetary Ambulation Using Robotic Actuation.

Aerospace medicine and human performance
Current spacesuits are cumbersome and metabolically expensive. The use of robotic actuators could improve extravehicular activity performance. We propose a novel method to quantify the benefit of robotic actuators during planetary ambulation. Using ...

Toward a living soft microrobot through optogenetic locomotion control of .

Science robotics
Learning from the locomotion of natural organisms is one of the most effective strategies for designing microrobots. However, the development of bioinspired microrobots is still challenging because of technical bottlenecks such as design and seamless...

Manipulation for self-Identification, and self-Identification for better manipulation.

Science robotics
The process of modeling a series of hand-object parameters is crucial for precise and controllable robotic in-hand manipulation because it enables the mapping from the hand's actuation input to the object's motion to be obtained. Without assuming tha...

Robotic hand augmentation drives changes in neural body representation.

Science robotics
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....

Complex manipulation with a simple robotic hand through contact breaking and caging.

Science robotics
Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In this work, we leveraged a potential energy-based whole-hand manipulation model, which does n...

Tuning the Mechanical and Geometric Properties of Electrochemically Aligned Collagen Threads Toward Applications in Biohybrid Robotics.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Electrochemically aligned collagen (ELAC) threads fabricated by the isoelectric focusing (IF) of collagen have previously shown potential in tissue engineering and more recently in the fabrication of biohybrid robot structures. For applications in bi...
