Aerial insects exhibit agile maneuvers such as sharp braking, saccades, and body flips under disturbances; in contrast, insect-scale aerial robots are limited to tracking smooth trajectories with small acceleration. To achieve similar flight capabili...
BACKGROUND: Addressing the complex medical and psychosocial needs of older adults is increasingly difficult in resource-limited care settings. In this context, socially assistive robots (SARs) provide support and practical functions such as orientati...
BACKGROUND: Apathy is common among older adults residing in long-term care (LTC) and impairs quality of life for both older adults and care providers. Few pharmacological remedies exist, and nonpharmacologic approaches that engage those with apathy r...
Traditional locomotion strategies fail in low-Reynolds-number fluid environments, where viscous forces dominate over inertial forces. Microorganisms have developed specialized structures such as cilia and flagella to overcome this challenge, enabling...
BACKGROUND: Virtual patient (VP) simulations can be used to practice clinical reasoning (CR) in controlled learning environments. Traditional computer-based VP platforms often lack the authenticity and interactivity required for effective CR training...
As part of the industrial revolution, the collaborative robot (cobot) has become increasingly important in Industry 5.0. However, the most significant barrier for the industry to adopt the cobot is a lack of knowledge and skills. Therefore, e-learnin...
BACKGROUND: Pain and emotional distress are prevalent concerns in pediatric hospital care, underscoring the need for safe and evidence-based nonpharmacological interventions. Socially assistive robots (SARs) are innovative tools that alleviate pain a...
Effective control of bipedal postures relies on sensory inputs from the past, which encode dynamic changes in the spatial properties of our movement over time. To uncover how the spatial and temporal properties of an upright posture interact in the p...
In cancer combination therapy, micro-robot systems that integrate multiple therapeutic functions have emerged as a key direction for overcoming the limitations of traditional treatments. This study proposes a magnetic thermosensitive hydrogel capsule...
