Cognitive navigation, a high-level and crucial function for organisms' survival in nature, enables autonomous exploration and navigation within the environment. However, most existing works for bio-inspired navigation are implemented with non-neuromo...
In this article, I propose an ethical analysis of assistive domestic robots for older users. In doing so, I illustrate my inquiry with the example of ROB-IN assistive robot. ROB-IN is a Spanish project which is devoted to developing a robot that will...
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious form of stroke and has limited available therapeutic options. As knowledge on ICH rapidly develops, cutting-edge techniques in the fields of surgical robots, regenerative medicine, and neurorehabilit...
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, with lower limb dysfunction being a common sequela that significantly impacts patients' mobility and quality of life. Robotic-assisted training has emerged as a promising intervention for...
INTRODUCTION: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a common and severe complication in critically ill patients, associated with high morbidity and poor prognosis. Despite increasing focus on ICUAW, definitive diagnostic and therapeutic st...
Fluoroscopically guided electrophysiology (EP) procedures expose operators to low doses of ionizing radiation, which can induce DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and raises increasing concerns regarding potential health risks. A novel robotic radiation...
Touch plays a crucial role in human social interaction and emotional communication. Social touch refers to touching others in social contexts, serving purposes like greetings, affection, persuasion, and emotional regulation. Social robots are autonom...
The design of continuum robots often involves a dilemma between flexibility and stiffness, where increased flexibility may reduce stiffness and control precision. The human hand achieves both power grasp and precision grasp by leveraging different jo...
