A randomized controlled trial of the effects of dog-assisted versus robot dog-assisted therapy for children with autism or Down syndrome.

PloS one
Research with controlled or crossover designs in animal-assisted therapy have largely used control groups receiving no treatment or treatment as usual, which can potentially inflate the effects of these interventions. It is therefore not always clear...

User-Centered Prototype Design of a Health Care Robot for Treating Type 2 Diabetes in the Community Pharmacy: Development and Usability Study.

JMIR human factors
BACKGROUND: Technology can be an effective tool for providing health services and disease self-management, especially in diabetes care. Technology tools for disease self-management include health-related applications for computers and smartphones as ...

Robot-Assisted Stereotactic Microinjection Method for Precision Cell Transplantation in Rat and Canine Models.

Cell transplantation
Cell transplantation is a promising approach for addressing neurodegenerative conditions. In this study, we developed a robot-assisted stereotactic microinjection system for transplanting cells. We evaluated the factors that affect cellular graft via...

Neural correlates of the uncanny valley effect for robots and hyper-realistic masks.

PloS one
Viewing artificial objects and images that are designed to appear human can elicit a sense of unease, referred to as the 'uncanny valley' effect. Here we investigate neural correlates of the uncanny valley, using still images of androids (robots desi...

Human-in-the-Loop Myoelectric Pattern Recognition Control of an Arm-Support Robot to Improve Reaching in Stroke Survivors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using real-time human-in-the-loop pattern recognition-based myoelectric control to control vertical support force or vertical position to improve reach in individuals with chro...

Miniature origami robot for various biological micromanipulations.

Nature communications
Robotic micromanipulation is widely applied in biological research and medical procedures, providing a level of operational precision and stability beyond human capability. Compared with traditional micromanipulators that require assembly from many p...

Initial characterization of a novel dual-robot orthovoltage radiotherapy system.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Adequate access to radiotherapy is a critical global concern affecting low-resource settings such as low- and middle-income countries and rural regions. We propose to reduce this disparity by developing a novel low-cost radiotherapy device that treat...

Automation of protein crystallization scaleup via Opentrons-2 liquid handling.

SLAS technology
In this study we present an approach for optimizing protein crystallization trials at the multi-microliter scale utilizing the Opentrons-2 liquid handling robot. Our research demonstrates the robot's capability to automate 24-well sitting drop protei...

Aggregation induced emission luminogen bacteria hybrid bionic robot for multimodal phototheranostics and immunotherapy.

Nature communications
Multimodal phototheranostics utilizing single molecules offer a "one-and-done" approach, presenting a convenient and effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, therapies based on conventional photosensitizers often suffer from limitations such a...

How culture modulates anthropomorphism in Human-Robot Interaction: A review.

Acta psychologica
Anthropomorphism is the tendency to attribute human-like characteristics to nonhuman agents, including robots. In the context of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research, it is relevant to understand what factors are at play in modulating individuals' ...
