Get a grip: inward dactyl motions improve efficiency of sideways-walking gait for an amphibious crab-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Crabs are adept at traversing natural terrains that are challenging for mobile robots. Curved dactyls are a characteristic feature that engage terrain in order to resist wave forces in surf zones. Inward gripping motions at the onset of the stance co...

The rise of robots increases job insecurity and maladaptive workplace behaviors: Multimethod evidence.

The Journal of applied psychology
Robots are transforming the nature of human work. Although human-robot collaborations can create new jobs and increase productivity, pundits often warn about how robots might replace humans at work and create mass unemployment. Despite these warnings...

International Expert Consensus on Metric-based Characterization of Robot-assisted Partial Nephrectomy.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) training usually takes place in vivo, and methods vary across countries/institutions. No common system exists to objectively assess trainee ability to perform RAPN at predetermined performance lev...

Operative and oncological outcomes after robotic rectal resection compared with laparoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ANZ journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Most studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic surgery, show little difference in clinical outcomes to justify the expense. We systematically reviewed and pooled evidence from studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic rectal resection.

Towards fully automated robotic platform for remote auscultation.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Since most developed countries are facing an increase in the number of patients per healthcare worker due to a declining birth rate and an ageing population, relatively simple and safe diagnosis tasks may need to be performed using roboti...

[Robotic hernia surgery IV. German version : Robotic parastomal hernia repair. Video report and preliminary results].

Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)
The surgical treatment of parastomal hernias is considered complex and is known to be prone to complications. Traditionally, this condition was treated using relocation techniques or local suture repairs. Since then, several mesh-based techniques hav...

Active entanglement enables stochastic, topological grasping.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Grasping, in both biological and engineered mechanisms, can be highly sensitive to the gripper and object morphology, as well as perception and motion planning. Here, we circumvent the need for feedback or precise planning by using an array of fluidi...

Active tactile sensing of small insect force by a soft microfinger toward microfinger-insect interactions.

Scientific reports
Human-robot interaction technology has contributed to improving sociality for humanoid robots. At scales far from human scales, a microrobot can interact with an environment in a small world. Microsensors have been applied to measurement of forces by...

Dynamics of cooperative excavation in ant and robot collectives.

eLife
The solution of complex problems by the collective action of simple agents in both biologically evolved and synthetically engineered systems involves cooperative action. Understanding the resulting emergent solutions requires integrating across the o...

The Generation of Piano Music Using Deep Learning Aided by Robotic Technology.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
In order to improve the accuracy and precision of music generation assisted by robotics, this study analyzes the application of deep learning in piano music generation. Firstly, based on the basic concepts of robotics and deep learning, the advantage...
