Current and future applications of robotics in structural heart interventions.

EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology
Robotics entered the cardiovascular field in the late 1990s with a robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft. Since then, the use of robots has become a common part of cardiovascular surgery in several types of interventions. The experience in tran...

Advanced bioactuator selection for efficient human motion simulation in biohybrid robots using CSF dynamic knowledge.

Scientific reports
The selection of the most efficient actuator for biohybrid robots necessitates the implementation of precise and reliable decision-making (DM) methods. Dynamic aggregation operators (AOs) provide flexibility and consistency in DM by embracing time-de...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of robotic exoskeleton versus conventional physiotherapy for stroke rehabilitation in Singapore from a health system perspective.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: This study conducted a comprehensive probabilistic cost-effectiveness analysis comparing robotic exoskeleton therapy to conventional physiotherapy for stroke rehabilitation in Singapore, focusing on three patient groups categorised by the...

Wristful thinking: exploring the effects of robotic rehabilitation and cross-education for persons with multiple sclerosis.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
The goal of this work was to develop an adaptive rehabilitation technique using a haptic wrist robot that would induce cross-education to an untrained limb. Fourteen individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and eight non-affected adults completed an ...

Femtosecond laser-assisted printing of hard magnetic microrobots for swimming upstream in subcentimeter-per-second blood flow.

Science advances
Magnetic microrobots have garnered increasing attention in the biomedical field due to their wireless motion control and noninvasive therapeutic potential. However, current microrobots fabricated from soft magnetic materials exhibit critical limitati...

Exploratory development of human-machine interaction strategies for post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stroke and its related complications, place significant burdens on human society in the twenty-first century, and lead to substantial demands for upper limb rehabilitation. To fulfill the rehabilitation needs, human-machine interaction (H...

Toward developing a compact total artificial heart using a soft robotic fluidic transmission system.

Science advances
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality, with limited possibilities for transplantation due to a critical shortage of donor hearts. Replacing the heart with total artificial hearts (TAHs) remains challenging, due to size constraints ...

Case study on force compliant robot arm controller for nasopharyngeal swab insertion.

Scientific reports
The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab sample test, commonly used to detect COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, involves moving a swab through the nasal cavity to collect samples from the nasopharynx. While typically this is done by human healthcare work...

Development of an electrical current stimulator for controlling biohybrid machines.

Scientific reports
Soft and flexible robotics is an emerging field that attracts a huge interest due to its ability to produce bioinspired devices that are easily adaptable to the environment. Biohybrid Machines (BHM) represent a category of soft robots that integrate ...
