Development of an ethical framework for the use of social robots in the care of individuals with major neurocognitive disorders: a qualitative study.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing use of social robots in geriatric care, there is a lack of standardized ethical guidelines to inform and guide professionals in their implementation.

Efficient control of spider-like medical robots with capsule neural networks and modified spring search algorithm.

Scientific reports
This study introduces an innovative method for gesture recognition in medical robotics, utilizing Capsule Neural Networks (CNNs) in conjunction with the Modified Spring Search Algorithm (MSSA). This approach achieves remarkable efficiency in gesture ...

Miniaturized soft growing robots for minimally invasive surgeries: challenges and opportunities.

Progress in biomedical engineering (Bristol, England)
Advancements in assistive robots have significantly transformed healthcare procedures in recent years. Clinical continuum robots have enhanced minimally invasive surgeries, offering benefits to patients such as reduced blood loss and a short recovery...

Harnessing chemistry for plant-like machines: from soft robotics to energy harvesting in the phytosphere.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)
Nature, especially plants, can inspire scientists and engineers in the development of bioinspired machines able to adapt and interact with complex unstructured environments. Advances in manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing, have expanded the...

Social robot PIO intervention for improving cognitive function and depression in older adults with mild to moderate dementia in day care centers: A randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
The increases in the older population, the prevalence of dementia, and the resulting social costs are burdensome to individuals, families, and the nation. This study examines whether the social robot PIO program intervention is effective for cognitiv...

Does Musical Experience Facilitate Phonetic Accommodation During Human-Robot Interaction?

Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR
PURPOSE: This study investigated the effect of musical training on phonetic accommodation in a second language (L2) after interacting with a social robot, exploring the motivations and reasons behind their accommodation strategies.

Brain-Computer Interface-controlled Upper Limb Robotic System for Enhancing Daily Activities in Stroke Patients.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
This study introduces a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-controlled upper limb assistive robot for post-stroke rehabilitation. The system utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) signals to help users assist upper limb function in...

Use of a priority lane to increase voluntary visits to a milking robot in dairy cows.

Journal of dairy science
Voluntary visits to the milking robot are the basis of automatic milking system functionality. Therefore, problems arise when cows are undermotivated to visit the robot. Cows with reduced competitive abilities, specifically those that are lame or low...

Can humanoid robots be used as a cognitive offloading tool?

Cognitive research: principles and implications
Cognitive load occurs when the demands of a task surpass the available processing capacity, straining mental resources and potentially impairing performance efficiency, such as increasing the number of errors in a task. Owing to its ubiquity in real-...

Understanding Robot Gesture Perception in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder during Human-Robot Interaction.

International journal of neural systems
Social robots are increasingly being used in therapeutic contexts, especially as a complement in the therapy of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Because of this, the aim of this study is to understand how children with ASD perceive and i...
