IKEA effect and empathy for robots: Can assembly strengthen human-agent relationships?

PloS one
Cooperative relationships between humans and agents are becoming more important for the social coexistence of anthropomorphic agents, including virtual agents and robots. One way to improve the relationship between humans and agents is for humans to ...

An eel-like robot based on a dielectric elastomer.

PloS one
Eels have attracted significant research interest because of their long-distance migration and high-endurance cruising behavior. An underwater eel-like robot design inspired by these creatures has the potential for high efficiency, strong maneuverabi...

Structure, sensing and control of pneumatic upper limb rehabilitation system: Review and prospect.

Computers in biology and medicine
With the development of society, the service level of rehabilitation institutions needs to be improved. Pneumatic drive technology has attracted widespread attention due to its high safety and easy control. As a new type of driving element, pneumatic...

Beyond the human touch: A critical review of the promise and challenges of animal- and robot-assisted therapy in loneliness and mental healthcare.

Asian journal of psychiatry
Mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dementia, are increasingly recognized as exacerbated by social isolation and loneliness, prompting growing interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven and...

Current and future applications of robotics in structural heart interventions.

EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology
Robotics entered the cardiovascular field in the late 1990s with a robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft. Since then, the use of robots has become a common part of cardiovascular surgery in several types of interventions. The experience in tran...

Advanced bioactuator selection for efficient human motion simulation in biohybrid robots using CSF dynamic knowledge.

Scientific reports
The selection of the most efficient actuator for biohybrid robots necessitates the implementation of precise and reliable decision-making (DM) methods. Dynamic aggregation operators (AOs) provide flexibility and consistency in DM by embracing time-de...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of robotic exoskeleton versus conventional physiotherapy for stroke rehabilitation in Singapore from a health system perspective.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: This study conducted a comprehensive probabilistic cost-effectiveness analysis comparing robotic exoskeleton therapy to conventional physiotherapy for stroke rehabilitation in Singapore, focusing on three patient groups categorised by the...

Wristful thinking: exploring the effects of robotic rehabilitation and cross-education for persons with multiple sclerosis.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
The goal of this work was to develop an adaptive rehabilitation technique using a haptic wrist robot that would induce cross-education to an untrained limb. Fourteen individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and eight non-affected adults completed an ...

Femtosecond laser-assisted printing of hard magnetic microrobots for swimming upstream in subcentimeter-per-second blood flow.

Science advances
Magnetic microrobots have garnered increasing attention in the biomedical field due to their wireless motion control and noninvasive therapeutic potential. However, current microrobots fabricated from soft magnetic materials exhibit critical limitati...
