Artefacts of Change: The Disruptive Nature of Humanoid Robots Beyond Classificatory Concerns.

Science and engineering ethics
One characteristic of socially disruptive technologies is that they have the potential to cause uncertainty about the application conditions of a concept i.e., they are conceptually disruptive. Humanoid robots have done just this, as evidenced by dis...

Stable heteroclinic channels as a decision-making model: overcoming low signal-to-noise ratio with mutual inhibition.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bio-inspired robot controllers are becoming more complex as we strive to make them more robust to, and flexible in, noisy, real-world environments. A stable heteroclinic network (SHN) is a dynamical system that produces cyclical state transitions usi...

Soft robotic brittle star shows the influence of mass distribution on underwater walking.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Most walking organisms tend to have relatively light limbs and heavy bodies in order to facilitate rapid limb motion. However, the limbs of brittle stars (Class Ophiuroidea) are primarily comprised of dense skeletal elements, with potentially much hi...

Optimizing the clinical adoption of total joint replacement of the lumbar spine through imaging, robotics and artificial intelligence.

Expert review of medical devices
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this article is to assess the potential of imaging, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly improve spine care, preoperative planning and surgery.

Bat-Inspired Bionic Bimodal Active Cognitive Electronic Skin with Multisensory Integration Ability.

Nano letters
Empowering intelligent robots with cognitive abilities that rival or even surpass those of humans is the key to enabling more complex and sophisticated interactions. Currently, most electronic skins (e-skins) perform excellently in distinguishing sha...

Soft Biological Actuators for Meter-Scale Homeostatic Biohybrid Robots.

Chemical reviews
Skeletal muscle's elegant protein-based architecture powers motion throughout the animal kingdom, with its constituent actomyosin complexes driving intra- and extra-cellular motion. Classical motors and recently developed soft actuators cannot match ...

The effect of lower limb rehabilitation robot on lower limb -motor function in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Systematic reviews
BACKGROUND: The assessment and enhancement of lower limb motor function in hemiplegic patients is of paramount importance. The emergence of lower limb rehabilitation robots offers a promising avenue for improving motor function in these patients, add...

Harnessing emotion and intonation in speech to improve robot acceptance.

Science robotics
The use of emotional words and expressive voices in robots alters the attribution of agency and experience by humans.

Harnessing the oloid shape in magnetically driven robots to enable high-resolution ultrasound imaging.

Science robotics
Magnetic fields enable remote manipulation of objects and are ideal for medical applications because they pass through human tissue harmlessly. This capability is promising for surgical robots, allowing navigation deeper into the human anatomy and ac...

Neurorehabilitation in spinal cord injury: Increased cortical activity through tDCS and robotic gait training.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the neurophysiological outcomes of combining robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) with active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
