BACKGROUND: Orthostatic hypotension can occur during acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and subsequently persist. We investigated whether a gait rehabilitation robot combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) stabilizes hemodynamics during ort...
Magnetic microrobots hold great promise for applications in drug delivery and environmental remediation, but achieving collective reconfiguration and effective propulsion for dense, motile magnetic microrobots remains a significant challenge. In this...
: While shoulder injuries represent the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) most encountered in physical therapy, there is no consensus on their management. In attempts to provide standardized and personalized treatment, a robotic-assisted device combin...

Tails used as inertial appendages induce body rotations of animals and robots-a phenomenon that is governed largely by the ratio of the body and tail moments of inertia. However, vertebrate tails have more degrees of freedom (e.g. number of joints an...
In high-dimensional scenarios, trajectory planning is a challenging and computationally complex optimization task that requires finding the optimal trajectory within a complex domain. Metaheuristic (MH) algorithms provide a practical approach to solv...
Control of movement is learned and uses error feedback during practice to predict actions for the next movement. We previously showed that augmenting error can enhance learning, but while such findings are encouraging, the methods need to be refined ...
Soft robots are usually manufactured using the pouring method and can only be configured with a fixed execution area, which often faces the problem of insufficient or wasteful performance in real-world applications, and cannot be reused for other tas...

Legged robots, designed to emulate human functions, have greatly influenced numerous sectors. However, the focus on continuously improving the joint motors and control systems of existing legged robots not only increases costs and complicates mainten...
In the era of renewed fascination with AI and robotics, one needs to address questions related to their societal impact, particularly in terms of moral responsibility and intentionality. In seven vignette-based experiments we investigated whether the...
To investigate the feasibility of robot-assisted teleultrasound diagnosis for radioactive patients compared with conventional ultrasound diagnosis. In this prospective study (ChineseClinicalTrials.gov identifier, ChiCTR2200057253), 32 radioactive pat...
