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...
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...
(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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
