Towards a Sociology of Healthcare Robots.

Sociology of health & illness
We propose a sociological approach to healthcare robots that emphasises the heterogeneous ethics of mutual labour and the complex definitions of care that emerge through robot design/deployment. This argument is the product of a narrative literature ...

The robotic companion's choice encourages sustainable food choices: The moderating role of anthropomorphism.

Applied psychology. Health and well-being
Previous research has shown the impact of the food choices of others on individuals' own food choices. We conducted two studies to investigate how a robot's choice might influence people's choices between meat-heavy and vegetable-forward meals in ima...

Investigating the Limits of Familiarity-Based Navigation.

Artificial life
Insect-inspired navigation strategies have the potential to unlock robotic navigation in power-constrained scenarios, as they can function effectively with limited computational resources. One such strategy, familiarity-based navigation, has successf...

Robotic task specific training for upper limb neurorehabilitation: a mixed methods feasibility trial reporting achievable dose.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Robotic devices for upper-limb neurorehabilitation allow an increase in intensity of practice, often relying on video game-based training strategies with limited capacity to individualise training and integrate functional training. This stud...

Ethical risks in robot health education: A qualitative study.

Nursing ethics
BackgroundAs health education robots may potentially become a significant support force in nursing practice in the future, it is imperative to adhere to the European Union's concept of "Responsible Research and Innovation" (RRI) and deeply reflect on...

[Transforming joint reconstruction with surgical robotics: from empirical to analytical approaches].

Zhonghua yi xue za zhi
Robotic-assisted joint reconstruction has gradually become a routine procedure in clinical practice. Robots enhance surgical precision, minimize soft tissue damage, and improve clinical outcomes in joint reconstruction. This article will discuss the ...

[Trajectory planning and tracking control for upper limb traction rehabilitation training].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
To solve the safety problems caused by the restriction of interaction space and the singular configuration of rehabilitation robot in terminal traction upper limb rehabilitation training, a trajectory planning and tracking control scheme for rehabili...

Using a Logic Model to Explore Seniors' Interactions with a Coaching Robot.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: The use of Logic Models provides a structured approach to understanding and visualizing the impact of interventions in complex systems, such as Ambient or Active Assisted Living (AAL).

Assessment of Social Robotics for the Enhancement of Cognitive and Physical Functioning in Older Adults.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In the field of elder care, many countries are facing a shortage of nursing staff, which presents a significant challenge that necessitates innovative solutions to support older individuals in nursing homes. This article explores a use case involving...

The NAO Robot in Healthcare and Education: A Scoping Review.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Humanoid robots, designed to resemble the human form, are increasingly becoming an integral technology used in healthcare and education. This paper focuses on the NAO robot, which is engineered with advanced capabilities such as speech recognition, f...
