BACKGROUND: Spinal angiography (SA) remains the gold standard for evaluating spinal cord vasculature, but traditional approaches expose operators and patients to significant ionizing radiation. Robotic-assisted platforms offer potential advantages th...
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability creating a huge economic burden annually. Robot-assisted training (RT) is a promising therapy in stroke rehabilitation, but for the elderly, traditional 'reaching objects'" task...
BACKGROUND: Nuclear imaging is the cornerstone of clinical practice across many disciplines. Few innovations in imaging have addressed occupational health of radiographers exposed to radiation in their daily work. In this proof-of-concept study, we h...
BACKGROUND: Health care professionals (HCPs) are key stakeholders whose acceptance, preparedness, and ethical considerations influence the integration of socially assistive robots (SARs). This review explores HCPs' perspectives on SARs integration in...
In intelligent manufacturing for complex products, the configuration and allocation of human-robot collaboration units (HRCUs) are of critical importance for enhancing production performance. To address the insufficient research on the impact of indi...
This study explores how to improve the detection of Error-Related Potentials (ErrPs), namely brain signals generated when a person perceives an unexpected action performed by an interacting agent. ErrPs are promising for improving interactions betwee...
Recent neuroscience discoveries on human hand synergies have inspired the development of underactuated robotic hands, which replicate human-like grasping capabilities using a minimal number of actuators. However, a generalized methodology for determi...
To avert criticism and losses of trust, robots that adopt social roles in the near future will have to be aware of and follow the norms of the communities in which they operate. However, norms often conflict with one another, and resolving such confl...
The passive compliance of a soft worm-like body can be a key advantage for traversal of complex confined spaces, but in practice, the body's stiffness and contact friction often require experimental adjustments. Here, for the first time, we develop a...
