Staff's Attitudes towards the Use of Mobile Telepresence Robots in Long-Term Care Homes in Canada.

Canadian journal on aging = La revue canadienne du vieillissement
This cross-sectional study investigated staff's attitudes towards the use of mobile telepresence robots in long-term care (LTC) homes in western Canada. We drew on a Health Technology Assessment Core Model 3.0 to design a survey examining attitudes t...

Creation of a Novel, Race-Adjusted, and Risk-Adapted Scoring System to Predict Positive Surgical Margins and Prolonged Operative Time During Robotic Radical Prostatectomy.

Journal of endourology
To compare racial differences and pelvis dimensions between Caucasians and African Americans (AAs) and to develop a risk calculator and scoring system to predict the risk of prolonged operative time and presence of positive surgical margins (PSM) ba...

Environmental force sensing helps robots traverse cluttered large obstacles.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robots can traverse sparse obstacles by sensing environmental geometry and avoiding contact with obstacles. However, for search and rescue in rubble, environmental monitoring through dense vegetation, and planetary exploration over Martian and lunar ...

Improving the acceptability of social robots: Make them look different from humans.

PloS one
The social robots market will grow considerably in the coming years. What the arrival of these new kind of social agents means for society, however, is largely unknown. Existing cases of robot abuse point to risks of introducing such artificial socia...

Octopus-Inspired Muscular Hydrostats Powered By Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles.

Soft robotics
Traditional robots are characterized by rigid structures, which restrict their range of motion and their application in environments where complex movements and safe human-robot interactions are required. Soft robots inspired by nature and characteri...

Robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in adolescents: a case series.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic assisted (RA) retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) has grown in popularity as it offers decreased morbidity and faster recovery compared to the open technique. Proponents of open surgery raised concerns about the oncological fidelity...

Effects of overground gait training assisted by a wearable exoskeleton in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In the recent past, wearable devices have been used for gait rehabilitation in patients with Parkinson's disease. The objective of this paper is to analyze the outcome of a wearable hip orthosis whose assistance adapts in real time to the...

A metric for characterizing the arm nonuse workspace in poststroke individuals using a robot arm.

Science robotics
An overreliance on the less-affected limb for functional tasks at the expense of the paretic limb and in spite of recovered capacity is an often-observed phenomenon in survivors of hemispheric stroke. The difference between capacity for use and actua...
