Foot trajectory as a key factor for diverse gait patterns in quadruped robot locomotion.

Scientific reports
Four-legged robots are becoming increasingly pivotal in navigating challenging environments, such as construction sites and disaster zones. While substantial progress in robotic mobility has been achieved using reinforcement learning techniques, quad...

The Future of Parenthood? Examining the Promise and Complexity of Pregnancy Robots in Reproductive Health.

Journal of medical systems
Advancements in reproductive technology are now approaching an unprecedented frontier: the pregnancy robot, a potential artificial womb capable of carrying a fetus from fertilization to birth. This innovation, by simulating the natural uterine enviro...

Service robots in caring for older adults: Uncovering the current conceptual and intellectual structures and future research agenda.

Archives of gerontology and geriatrics
Service robots have supported human activity, mainly caring for older adults, for many years. However, a new generation of service robots empowered by artificial intelligence and other novel technologies indicates an increasing use of service robots ...

Haptic Shared Control Framework with Interaction Force Constraint Based on Control Barrier Function for Teleoperation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Current teleoperated robotic systems for retinal surgery cannot effectively control subtle tool-to-tissue interaction forces. This limitation may lead to patient injury caused by the surgeon's mistakes. To improve the safety of retinal surgery, this ...

Bioinspired Smart Triboelectric Soft Pneumatic Actuator-Enabled Hand Rehabilitation Robot.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Quantitative assessment for post-stroke spasticity remains a significant challenge due to the encountered variable resistance during passive stretching, which can lead to the widely used modified Ashworth scale (MAS) for spasticity assessment dependi...

Optimizing the value of bioinks and robotics to advance in vivo bioprinting.

Current opinion in biotechnology
In vivo bioprinting strategies aim at facilitating immediate integration of engineered tissues with the host's biological system. As integral parts of current bioprinting technologies, bioinks and robotics should be holistically considered for new bi...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Interactive Robot-Assisted Virtual Health Coaching for Health Literacy and Disease Knowledge of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Quasiexperimental Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) imposes a significant global health and economic burden, impacting millions globally. Despite its high prevalence, public awareness and understanding of CKD remain limited, leading to delayed diagnosis and sub...

Dynamic planning in hierarchical active inference.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
By dynamic planning, we refer to the ability of the human brain to infer and impose motor trajectories related to cognitive decisions. A recent paradigm, active inference, brings fundamental insights into the adaptation of biological organisms, const...

Evaluation of the Usability of ChatGPT-4 and Google Gemini in Patient Education About Rhinosinusitis.

Clinical otolaryngology : official journal of ENT-UK ; official journal of Netherlands Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology & Cervico-Facial Surgery
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) based chat robots are increasingly used by users for patient education about common diseases in the health field, as in every field. This study aims to evaluate and compare patient education materials on rhi...

A bioinspired fish fin webbing for proprioceptive feedback.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The propulsive fins of ray-finned fish are used for large scale locomotion and fine maneuvering, yet also provide sensory feedback regarding hydrodynamic loading and the surrounding environment. This information is gathered via nerve cells in the web...
