Enhancing Robotic-Based Propeller Blade Sharpening Efficiency with a Laser-Vision Sensor and a Force Compliance Mechanism.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The edge sharpness of a propeller blade plays a vital role in improving energy transmission efficiency and reducing the power required to propel the vehicle. However, producing finely sharpened edges through casting is challenging due to the risk of ...

A Self-Coordinating Controller with Balance-Guiding Ability for Lower-Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The restricted posture and unrestricted compliance brought by the controller during human-exoskeleton interaction (HEI) can cause patients to lose balance or even fall. In this article, a self-coordinated velocity vector (SCVV) double-layer controlle...

Clustering trunk movements of children and adolescents with neurological gait disorders undergoing robot-assisted gait therapy: the functional ability determines if actuated pelvis movements are clinically useful.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted gait therapy is frequently used for gait therapy in children and adolescents but has been shown to limit the physiological excursions of the trunk and pelvis. Actuated pelvis movements might support more physiological tru...

East-West Dialogues on the Ethics of Sex Robots.

HEC forum : an interdisciplinary journal on hospitals' ethical and legal issues
The purpose of this essay is to review and evaluate chapters in Fan and Cherry's Sex Robots: Social Impact and the Future of Human Relations. In this edited volume, the authors of the various chapters present dialogues from the East and West to explo...

Analysis of Clinical Outcomes After Robotic Hepatectomy Applying the Western-Model Southampton Laparoscopic Difficulty Scoring System. An Experience From a Tertiary US Hepatobiliary Center.

The American surgeon
BACKGROUND: Identification of resections with high risk of intraoperative complications is critical in guiding case selection for minimally invasive liver surgery. Several Japanese and European difficulty scoring systems have been proposed for laparo...

The morphological paradigm in robotics.

Studies in history and philosophy of science
In the paper, we are going to show how robotics is undergoing a shift in a bionic direction after a period of emphasis on artificial intelligence and increasing computational efficiency, which included isolation and extreme specialization. We assembl...

Leader-Based Flocking of Multiple Swarm Robots in Underwater Environments.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Considering underwater environments, this paper tackles flocking of multiple swarm robots utilizing one leader. The mission of swarm robots is to reach their goal while not colliding with a priori unknown 3D obstacles. In addition, the communication ...

Design Path for a Social Robot for Emotional Communication for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in social interaction and expressing and understanding emotions. Based on this, robots for children with ASD have been proposed. However, few studies have been conducted about how to design a...

Robotic Function-Preserving Resection of Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) located at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), lesser curvature, posterior gastric wall, or antrum present challenges for gastric function preservation. The aim of this study was to evalu...
