A Care Robot with Ethical Sensing System for Older Adults at Home.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Many studies have explored emotional and mental services that robots can provide for older adults, such as offering them daily conversation, news, music, or health information. However, the ethical issues raised by using sensors for frail older adult...

A bioinspired robotic knee with controlled joint surfaces and adjustable ligaments.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The knee joint plays a key role in kinematic and kinetic performances of pedestrain locomotion. The key role of meniscus with matched ligaments in joint stability and movability has not been fully explored in current robotic knee designs. We fabricat...

Characterization of the Workspace and Limits of Operation of Laser Treatments for Vascular Lesions of the Lower Limbs.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The increase of the aging population brings numerous challenges to health and aesthetic segments. Here, the use of laser therapy for dermatology is expected to increase since it allows for non-invasive and infection-free treatments. However, existing...

Reversing the Ruin: Rehabilitation, Recovery, and Restoration After Stroke.

Current neurology and neuroscience reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Stroke is a common cause of disability in aging adults. A given individual's needs after stroke vary as a function of the stroke extent and location. The purpose of this review was to discuss recent clinical investigations addressi...

Implementing a pediatric robotic surgery program: future perspectives.

Cirugia pediatrica : organo oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Cirugia Pediatrica
INTRODUCTION: The minimally invasive approach using robotic technology is fully incorporated in the treatment of adult pathologies. The first international pediatric studies with a robotic approach date from 2002, and in Spain, from 2009. We present ...

Laparoscopic versus robot-assisted pyeloplasty in infants and young children.

Asian journal of surgery
OBJECTIVE: To compare the characteristics of conventional laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) and robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in infants and young children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).

Path planning and collision avoidance methods for distributed multi-robot systems in complex dynamic environments.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
Multi-robot systems are experiencing increasing popularity in joint rescue, intelligent transportation, and other fields. However, path planning and navigation obstacle avoidance among multiple robots, as well as dynamic environments, raise significa...

Kirigami-Inspired Programmable Soft Magnetoresponsive Actuators with Versatile Morphing Modes.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Untethered soft magnetoresponsive actuators (SMRAs), which can realize rapid shape transformation, have attracted widespread attention for their strategic applications in exploration, transportation, and minimally invasive medicine. It remains a chal...

A Review on Human Comfort Factors, Measurements, and Improvements in Human-Robot Collaboration.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
As the development of robotics technologies for collaborative robots (COBOTs), the applications of human-robot collaboration (HRC) have been growing in the past decade. Despite the tremendous efforts from both academia and industry, the overall usage...

Application of minimum error entropy unscented Kalman filter in table tennis trajectory prediction.

PloS one
Table tennis is important and challenging project for robotics research, and table tennis robotics receives a lot of attention from academics. Trajectory tracking and prediction of table tennis is an important technology for table tennis robots, and ...
