Most medical robots depend on human operators for sensing, decision-making, and action during procedures. Future progress depends on enabling robots to take on these capabilities. Although learning-based approaches provide remarkable promise toward a...
Therapeutic and assistive exoskeletons and exosuits show promise in both clinical and real-world settings. Improving their autonomy can enhance usability, effectiveness, and cost efficiency. This Review presents a generic control framework for autono...
Bronchial foreign body aspiration is a life-threatening condition with a high incidence across diverse populations, requiring urgent diagnosis and treatment. However, the limited availability of skilled practitioners and advanced medical equipment in...
Insect-computer hybrid robots offer strong potential for navigating complex terrains. This study identified the intersegmental membrane between the pronotum and mesothorax of the Madagascar hissing cockroach as an effective site for electrical stimul...
Plantar pressure measurement systems are widely used to assess foot function and gait, yet discrepancies in sensor design, measurement protocols, and population characteristics can undermine data comparability. This study investigated three platform‑...
In pipe systems, the emergence of pipe-crawling robots (PCRs) has attracted significant attention for pipe inspection and repair applications. However, conventional PCRs are bulky and heavy, limiting their speed and adaptability, particularly in conf...
Respiratory monitoring is crucial because it provides key insights into a person's health and physiological conditions. Conventional respiratory sensing is significantly challenged by the presence of water vapor in exhaled breath. An on-mask magnetoe...
Safely and accurately navigating needles percutaneously or endoscopically to sites deep within the body is essential for many medical procedures, from biopsies to localized drug deliveries to tumor ablations. The advent of image guidance decades ago ...
Eels have attracted significant research interest because of their long-distance migration and high-endurance cruising behavior. An underwater eel-like robot design inspired by these creatures has the potential for high efficiency, strong maneuverabi...
In this study, an Electrical grid-independent Machine learning-assisted Wearable device for Gait analysis (EMWG) with a ground reaction force sensor is presented. For gait analysis, a multi-layer perceptron is identified as the optimal model among va...
