Medical robots learn to be autonomous.

Science robotics
Numerous challenges in medicine could be addressed by harnessing autonomy and artificial intelligence in medical robots.

Dentists' perception and use of AI and robotics in the care of persons with disabilities.

Scientific reports
Despite the growing role of AI and robotics in healthcare, little is known about their integration into dental care for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to assess dentists' perceptions and attitudes towards and use o...

Enhancing theory of mind in autism through humanoid robot interaction in a randomized controlled trial.

Scientific reports
Autism Spectrum Disorder presents significant challenges in social cognition, particularly in understanding others' thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Traditional interventions often rely on role-playing games with human therapists or inanimate obje...

Effect of a communication robot in the prevention of postoperative delirium in older persons: A randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
Japan Clinical Trials Registry (jRCT) (URL: https://jrct.mhlw.go.jp; No. jRCT1030250018; date: April 1, 2025; retrospectively registered).

Cyborg insect factory: automatic assembly for insect-computer hybrid robot via vision-guided robotic arm manipulation of custom bipolar electrodes.

Nature communications
Insect-computer hybrid robots offer strong potential for navigating complex terrains. This study identified the intersegmental membrane between the pronotum and mesothorax of the Madagascar hissing cockroach as an effective site for electrical stimul...

Does Humanness Matter? An Ethical Evaluation of Sharing Care Work with Social Robots.

Science and engineering ethics
While social robots offer potential benefits like task assistance and companionship, their integration raises concerns about the erosion of human connection and the dehumanization of care. Through a qualitative study of older adults, family caregiver...

Gait training using powered robotic exoskeleton for a person with spinal cord injury: a case report.

Spinal cord series and cases
INTRODUCTION: Robotic Exoskeleton-assisted gait training is an emerging approach in spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. This case report evaluates the effectiveness of Powered-Robotic exoskeleton-based gait training in an individual with chronic...

Understanding Physical Activity Facilitated by a Single Session of Robotic Walking for Children and Small Adults Living With Severe Mobility Impairments.

Journal of physical activity & health
BACKGROUND: Physical activity has many benefits but can be hard to achieve for people living with severe mobility impairments. Robotic walking may be an effective way for these individuals to achieve physical activity.

Magnetically Driven Living Microrobot Swarms for Aquatic Micro- and Nanoplastic Cleanup.

ACS nano
Micro- and nanoplastic pollution is pervasive worldwide, infiltrating drinking water and food chains, accumulating in the human body, and posing serious threats to public health and ecosystems. Despite these urgent challenges, effective strategies to...

Effects and neural mechanisms of a brain-computer interface-controlled soft robotic glove on upper limb function in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled fNIRS study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The brain-computer interface-based soft robotic glove (BCI-SRG) holds promise for upper limb rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients, yet its efficacy and neural mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the t...
