Socially assistive robots in health and social care: Acceptance and cultural factors. Results from an exploratory international online survey.

Japan journal of nursing science : JJNS
AIM: This study explored the views of an international sample of registered nurses and midwives working in health and social care concerning socially assistive robots (SARs), and the relationship between dimensions of culture and rejection of the ide...

Dynamic analysis and control of a hybrid lower limb rehabilitation robot to reduce human-robot interaction forces.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This study presents a model of cooperation between two planar manipulators including an orthosis and a programmable plate in form of a hybrid lower limb rehabilitation robot, which was designed and built at the University of Guilan. The aims of coope...

Water-Immiscible Coacervate as a Liquid Magnetic Robot for Intravascular Navigation.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Developing magnetic ultrasoft robots to navigate through extraordinarily narrow and confined spaces like capillaries in vivo requires synthesizing materials with excessive deformability, responsive actuation, and rapid adaptability, which are difficu...

Socially Assistive Devices in Healthcare-a Systematic Review of Empirical Evidence from an Ethical Perspective.

Science and engineering ethics
Socially assistive devices such as care robots or companions have been advocated as a promising tool in elderly care in Western healthcare systems. Ethical debates indicate various challenges. An important part of the ethical evaluation is to underst...

A comparison between the da Vinci Xi EndoWrist Stapler and a conventional laparoscopic stapler in rectal transection: A randomized controlled trial.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Distal rectal transection following robotic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer is challenging. This can be performed with either a robotic stapler (RS) or laparoscopic stapler (LS). We compared the operative outcomes and ergonomi...

In robot we trust? The effect of emotional expressions and contextual cues on anthropomorphic trustworthiness.

Applied ergonomics
Following the evolution of technology and its application in various daily contexts, social robots work as an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system to interact with humans. However, limited research has been done to discuss the role of emotion...

Restoring arm function with a soft robotic wearable for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Science translational medicine
Despite promising results in the rehabilitation field, it remains unclear whether upper limb robotic wearables, e.g., for people with physical impairments resulting from neurodegenerative disease, can be made portable and suitable for everyday use. W...
