Robot therapy aids mental health in patients with hematological malignancy during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a protective isolation unit.

Scientific reports
Patients with hematological malignancy experience physical and psychological pain, such as a sense of isolation and confinement due to intensive chemotherapy in a protective isolation unit (PIU). We examined whether the intervention of a robotic pupp...

Soft robotics for farm to fork: applications in agriculture & farming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Agricultural tasks and environments range from harsh field conditions with semi-structured produce or animals, through to post-processing tasks in food-processing environments. From farm to fork, the development and application of soft robotics offer...

Lipid vesicle-based molecular robots.

Lab on a chip
A molecular robot, which is a system comprised of one or more molecular machines and computers, can execute sophisticated tasks in many fields that span from nanomedicine to green nanotechnology. The core parts of molecular robots are fairly consiste...

Fast-Swimming Soft Robotic Fish Actuated by Bionic Muscle.

Soft robotics
Soft underwater swimming robots actuated by smart materials have unique advantages in exploring the ocean, such as low noise, high flexibility, and friendly environment interaction ability. However, most of them typically exhibit limited swimming spe...

Exploring the Use of Socially Assistive Robots Among Socially Isolated Korean American Older Adults.

Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society
This pilot study explored whether a socially assistive robot (SAR) would have positive effects on Korean American immigrant older adults' health behaviors and emotional well-being and whether the older adults would be receptive to the SAR. A total of...

Steering Muscle-Based Bio-Syncretic Robot Through Bionic Optimized Biped Mechanical Design.

Soft robotics
Bio-syncretic robots consisting of artificial structures and living muscle cells have attracted much attention owing to their potential advantages, such as high drive efficiency, miniaturization, and compatibility. Motion controllability, as an impor...

Impacts of Complete Endophytic Renal Tumors on Surgical, Functional, and Oncological Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy.

Journal of endourology
Complete endophytic renal tumors (CERTs) are the most challenging for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This study aimed to determine the impact of CERT on outcomes of RAPN. All RAPN cases for localized renal tumor undertaken at Yokohama C...

A Soft Robotic Actuator System for In Vivo Modeling of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The intracranial pressure (ICP) affects the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its waveform contains information that is of clinical importance in medical conditions such as hydrocephalus. Active manipulation of the ICP waveform cou...

Continuous Gesture Control of a Robot Arm: Performance Is Robust to a Variety of Hand-to-Robot Maps.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Despite advances in human-machine-interface design, we lack the ability to give people precise and fast control over high degree of freedom (DOF) systems, like robotic limbs. Attempts to improve control often focus on the static map that l...
