Neurogenic bladder (NB) dysfunction in individuals with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) is a condition that significantly affects quality of life. Despite the prevalence of interventions, there is a substantial gap in effective treatments for this ...
While delays in human-robot encounters can harm perceptions of competence, they can also enhance engagement and relatability, making timing a crucial factor in the design of robot behaviors for effective human-robot interaction. Previous research has...
The kinematic reliability analysis of robotic manipulators is crucial due to uncertainties such as joint variations, manufacturing tolerances, and external disturbances. Traditional methods often rely on analytical techniques that struggle with nonli...
Robot-assisted mirror therapy (MRT) is a cutting-edge rehabilitative treatment that combines mirror therapy and rehabilitation robots and can improve stroke patient participation in rehabilitation training. The aim of this study was to investigate th...
Collective intelligence in biological groups can be employed to inspire the control of artificial complex systems, such as swarm robotics. However, modeling for the social interactions between individuals is still a challenging task. Without loss of ...
The integration of robotics and Electrical Stimulation (ES) in neurorehabilitation leverages robotics' precise task execution alongside ES-induced motor learning, muscle conditioning, and cardiovascular benefits. We propose a hybrid system for overgr...
Social impact assessment has gained increasing attention in recent years, emphasizing the added value and social changes brought by project activities alongside the sustainability of social actions. This study evaluates the economic and social impact...
Inspired by the flexible structures found in soft organisms in nature, researchers have developed a variety of novel soft robots using flexible materials. Compared to traditional rigid robots, soft robots offer advantages such as lighter weight, grea...
Acoustic microrobots offer an easy-to-operate approach for microobject manipulation in biomedical and nanotechnology applications. However, microobject transportation tasks require synergistic handling and movement, which poses a challenge for solely...
Solitary foraging ants excel at route following using minimal neural resources, Robots don't. Recent biological studies proposed lateralized, nest-centric memories to explain ants' direct visual homing but did not address how ants follow curved visua...
