The grand challenges of learning medical robot autonomy.

Science robotics
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...

AI in therapeutic and assistive exoskeletons and exosuits: Influences on performance and autonomy.

Science robotics
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...

AI search, physician removal: Bronchoscopy robot bridges collaboration in foreign body aspiration.

Science robotics
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...

Cyborg insect factory: automatic assembly for insect-computer hybrid robot via vision-guided robotic arm manipulation of custom bipolar electrodes.

Nature communications
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...

Discrepancies between plantar pressure devices: Evaluating cross-system reliability for biomechanics, clinical use and predictive modelling.

Foot (Edinburgh, Scotland)
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‑...

Bioinspired untethered electromagnetic pipe-crawling robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

On-Mask Magnetoelastic Sensor Network for Self-Powered Respiratory Monitoring.

ACS nano
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...

Medical needles in the hands of AI: Advancing toward autonomous robotic navigation.

Science robotics
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 ...

An eel-like robot based on a dielectric elastomer.

PloS one
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...

Electrical grid-independent machine learning-assisted wearable gait analysis device with triboelectric-electromagnetic hybrid energy harvester.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
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...
