Exploratory development of human-machine interaction strategies for post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stroke and its related complications, place significant burdens on human society in the twenty-first century, and lead to substantial demands for upper limb rehabilitation. To fulfill the rehabilitation needs, human-machine interaction (H...

Toward developing a compact total artificial heart using a soft robotic fluidic transmission system.

Science advances
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality, with limited possibilities for transplantation due to a critical shortage of donor hearts. Replacing the heart with total artificial hearts (TAHs) remains challenging, due to size constraints ...

Case study on force compliant robot arm controller for nasopharyngeal swab insertion.

Scientific reports
The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab sample test, commonly used to detect COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, involves moving a swab through the nasal cavity to collect samples from the nasopharynx. While typically this is done by human healthcare work...

Development of an electrical current stimulator for controlling biohybrid machines.

Scientific reports
Soft and flexible robotics is an emerging field that attracts a huge interest due to its ability to produce bioinspired devices that are easily adaptable to the environment. Biohybrid Machines (BHM) represent a category of soft robots that integrate ...

Attentional responses in toddlers: A protocol for assessing the impact of a robotic animated animal and a real dog.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Attentional processes in toddlers are characterized by a state of alertness in which they focus their waking state for short periods. It is essential to develop assessment and attention stimulation protocols from an early age to improve t...

An ultralight, tiny, flexible six-axis force/torque sensor enables dexterous fingertip manipulations.

Nature communications
Multi-dimensional mechanoreceptors are crucial for both humans and robots, providing omnidirectional force/torque senses to ensure dexterous and precise manipulations. Current six-axis force/torque sensors are bulky, heavy, and rigid with complicated...

The effects of robot anthropomorphic characteristics on employees' anti-robot sabotage.

Scientific reports
Robot anthropomorphic characteristics have not only been widely manifested in production practices, but their positive effects on human-robot interaction have also been investigated and validated in academic research. Nonetheless, existing research h...

Experimental demonstration of third-order memristor-based artificial sensory nervous system for neuro-inspired robotics.

Nature communications
The sensory nervous system in animals enables the perception of external stimuli. Developing an artificial sensory nervous system has been widely conducted to realize neuro-inspired robots capable of effectively responding to external stimuli. Howeve...

Chemotactic navigation in robotic swimmers via reset-free hierarchical reinforcement learning.

Nature communications
Microorganisms have evolved diverse strategies to propel themselves in viscous fluids, navigate complex environments, and exhibit taxis in response to stimuli. This has inspired the development of miniature robots, where artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Technology Roadmap of Micro/Nanorobots.

ACS nano
Inspired by Richard Feynman's 1959 lecture and the 1966 film , the field of micro/nanorobots has evolved from science fiction to reality, with significant advancements in biomedical and environmental applications. Despite the rapid progress, the depl...
