Interim results of exoskeletal wearable robot for gait recovery in subacute stroke patients.

Scientific reports
Exoskeletons have been proposed for potential clinical use to improve ambulatory function in patients with stroke. The aim of an interim analysis of an international, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial was to investigate the short-term effect ...

Robot-assisted ultrasound probe calibration for image-guided interventions.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
BACKGROUND: Trackable ultrasound probes facilitate ultrasound-guided procedures, allowing real-time fusion of augmented ultrasound images and live video streams. The integration aids surgeons in accurately locating lesions within organs, and this cou...

Method of Forearm Muscles 3D Modeling Using Robotic Ultrasound Scanning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The accurate assessment of muscle morphology and function is crucial for medical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and biomechanical research. This study presents a novel methodology for constructing volumetric models of forearm muscles based on three-dim...

A muscle synergy-based method to improve robot-assisted movements.

Scientific reports
There is increasing interest in using assistive robotic devices to support motor re-learning and recovery in individuals with neurological impairments. These robots aim to enhance overall motor control by providing adaptive assistance. However, using...

An innovative underdriven multi-degree-of-freedom sea turtle hydrofoil design.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study presents a new design for a multi-degree-of-freedom underdriven mechanism. The aim is to achieve efficient bionic motion of a sea turtle hydrofoil with multi-degrees-of-freedom using a single drive source. The design focuses on the kinemat...

Journal of nursing management
The present study aimed to investigate the trends and research status of global nursing robot research. The global aging population has intensified the demand for caregiving services, highlighting the need for innovative solutions like nursing robo...

Curriculum is more influential than haptic feedback when learning object manipulation.

Science advances
Dexterous manipulation remains an aspirational goal for autonomous robotic systems, particularly when learning to lift and rotate objects against gravity with intermittent finger contacts. We use model-free reinforcement learning to compare the effec...

Stakeholder acceptance of a robot-assisted social training scenario for autistic children compared to a tablet-computer-based approach.

Scientific reports
Recent studies indicate the potential benefits of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) for children on the autism spectrum (AS), yet acceptance among stakeholders remains unclear due to methodological shortcomings in existing research. This study evaluates s...

Estimating strawberry weight for grading by picking robot with point cloud completion and multimodal fusion network.

Scientific reports
Strawberry grading by picking robots can eliminate the manual classification, reducing labor costs and minimizing the damage to the fruit. Strawberry size or weight is a key factor in grading, with accurate weight estimation being crucial for proper ...

A robust and omnidirectional-sensitive electronic antenna for tactile-induced perception.

Nature communications
Skin-like planar tactile sensors have achieved adaptive gripping, in-hand manipulation, and human-machine interaction but remain limited in tasks requiring active environmental interaction and robustness against large mechanical perturbations. Inspir...
