A resonant quadruped piezoelectric robot inspired by human butterfly swimming patterns.

Ultrasonics
Piezoelectric micro-robots have gained considerable attention in rescue and medical applications due to their rapid response times and high positioning accuracy. In this paper, inspired by the human butterfly locomotion pattern, we propose a novel re...

Implementing enclosed sterile integrated robotic platforms to improve cell-based screening for drug discovery.

SLAS technology
At GSK, we have implemented custom integrated robotics platforms housed in bespoke biosafety enclosures to augment our capabilities in advanced cellular screening. Here we present and discuss the impact of one such system, the Cellular Automated Scre...

Lightweight Two-Layer Control Architecture for Human-Following Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
(1) Background: Human detection and tracking are critical tasks for assistive autonomous robots, particularly in ensuring safe and efficient human-robot interaction in indoor environments. The increasing need for personal assistance among the elderly...

Effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot on balance and gait recovery and neuroplasticity in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Impaired balance and gait in stroke survivors are associated with decreased functional independence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot-assisted overground gait training compared with...

Comparing effects of wearable robot-assisted gait training on functional changes and neuroplasticity: A preliminary study.

PloS one
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is a promising technique for improving the gait ability of elderly adults and patients with gait disorders by enabling high-intensive and task-specific training. Gait functions involve multiple brain regions and ne...

Rehabilitation Technologies by Integrating Exoskeletons, Aquatic Therapy, and Quantum Computing for Enhanced Patient Outcomes.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent advancements in patient rehabilitation integrate both traditional and modern techniques to enhance treatment efficacy and accessibility. Hydrotherapy, leveraging water's physical properties, is crucial for reducing joint stress, alleviating pa...

Fast ground-to-air transition with avian-inspired multifunctional legs.

Nature
Most birds can navigate seamlessly between aerial and terrestrial environments. Whereas the forelimbs evolved into wings primarily for flight, the hindlimbs serve diverse functions such as walking, hopping and leaping, and jumping take-off for transi...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Balance and Fear of Falling in Patients With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was compare the effects of combined training, which included robot-assisted gait training in addition to traditional balance training, and traditional balance training alone on balance and fear of falling in patients ...

On the role of visual feedback and physiotherapist-patient interaction in robot-assisted gait training: an eye-tracking and HD-EEG study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Treadmill based Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (t-RAGT) provides for automated locomotor training to help the patient achieve a physiological gait pattern, reducing the physical effort required by therapist. By introducing the robot as a ...

Genetic algorithm-based optimal design for fluidic artificial muscle (FAM) bundles.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, we present a design optimization framework for a fluidic artificial muscle (FAM) bundle subject to geometric constraints. The architecture of natural skeletal muscles allows for compact actuation packaging by distributing a substantial...
