Measurement of the mechanical properties of single Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 cells in different osmotic concentrations using a robot-integrated microfluidic chip.

Lab on a chip
Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 (Synechocystis) is a model microorganism and its mechanosensitive (MS) channels play important roles in its osmoadaptation mechanism. When the osmotic concentration of the culture environment changes, the inner pressu...

What robot for tomorrow and what improvement can we expect?

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to summarize the status of robotic surgery currently, contextualizing the advances and improvements we can expect in the immediate future. Robotics continues to demonstrate increased utility and expans...

Design and analysis of a novel fall prevention device for lower limbs rehabilitation robot.

Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Most stroke survivors are suffering from physical motor impairments and confronting with the risk of falls, and well trunk stability is essential for balance during daily functional activities.

Parallel lensless compressive imaging via deep convolutional neural networks.

Optics express
We report a parallel lensless compressive imaging system, which enjoys real-time reconstruction using deep convolutional neural networks. A prototype composed of a low-cost LCD, 16 photo-diodes and isolation chambers, has been built. Each of these 16...

The Effects of Mouth Opening and Throat Pack Placement on Uncuffed Nasal Endotracheal Tube Leakage and Delivered Tidal Volumes in Mechanically Ventilated Pediatric Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures.

Anesthesia progress
Intubation for pediatric patients is frequently performed with an uncuffed endotracheal tube (ETT), which may result in an incomplete tracheal seal, resulting in gas leakage (leak). The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of (1) mouth open...

Stroke Rehabilitation: Therapy Robots and Assistive Devices.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Motor impairments after stroke are often persistent and disabling, and women are less likely to recover and show poorer functional outcomes. To regain motor function after stroke, rehabilitation robots are increasingly integrated into clinics. The de...

The Many Textures of Robotics: Flexible Materials That Conform to and Interact with the Human Body May Mean Better Outcomes for Patients.

IEEE pulse
Innovative researchers are employing flexible, rather than rigid materials in combination with new design approaches as part of the emerging field of biomedical soft robotics. The idea is to generate tools that conform to and interact with the human ...

A portable back massage robot based on Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
OBJECTIVE: A portable back massage robot which can complete the massage operations such as tapping, kneading and rolling was designed to improve the level of intelligence and massage effect. An efficient full covered path planning algorithm was put f...
