Magnetic-Powered Janus Cell Robots Loaded with Oncolytic Adenovirus for Active and Targeted Virotherapy of Bladder Cancer.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
A unique robotic medical platform is designed by utilizing cell robots as the active "Trojan horse" of oncolytic adenovirus (OA), capable of tumor-selective binding and killing. The OA-loaded cell robots are fabricated by entirely modifying OA-infect...

Large-Area and Low-Cost Force/Tactile Capacitive Sensor for Soft Robotic Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a novel design and development of a low-cost and multi-touch sensor based on capacitive variations. This new sensor is very flexible and easy to fabricate, making it an appropriate choice for soft robot applications. Materials (co...

Determinants of implementing of pet robots in nursing homes for dementia care.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Pet robots have been employed as viable substitutes to pet therapy in nursing homes. Despite their potential to enhance the psychosocial health of residents with dementia, there is a lack of studies that have investigated determinants of ...

Physics and applications of squid-inspired jetting.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In the aquatic world jet propulsion is a highly successful locomotion method utilized by a variety of species. Among them cephalopods such as squids excel in their ability for high-speed swimming. This mechanism inspires the development of underwater...

Robotic left hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis: Description of the technique and initial results.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: The aim was to describe the robot-assisted intracorporeal anastomosis technique in left colon surgery (rLCS) and report the initial results.

Determination of parabens in wastewater samples via robot-assisted dynamic single-drop microextraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Electrophoresis
Dynamic single-drop microextraction (SDME) was automatized employing an Arduino-based lab-made Cartesian robot and implemented to determine parabens in wastewater samples in combination with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A dedicated...

3D printed protein-based robotic structures actuated by molecular motor assemblies.

Nature materials
Upscaling motor protein activity to perform work in man-made devices has long been an ambitious goal in bionanotechnology. The use of hierarchical motor assemblies, as realized in sarcomeres, has so far been complicated by the challenges of arranging...

Theoretical Framework to Predict Generalized Contrast-to-Noise Ratios of Photoacoustic Images With Applications to Computer Vision.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
The successful integration of computer vision, robotic actuation, and photoacoustic imaging to find and follow targets of interest during surgical and interventional procedures requires accurate photoacoustic target detectability. This detectability ...

Design of Transverse Brachiation Robot and Motion Control System for Locomotion between Ledges at Different Elevations.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Bio-inspired transverse brachiation robots mimic the movement of human climbers as they traverse along ledges on a vertical wall. The constraints on the locomotion of these robots differ considerably from those of conventional brachiation robots due ...

Dual Mode HRI-HRI Control System with a Hybrid Admittance-Force Controller for Ultrasound Imaging.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented extreme pressure on the medical system due to the physical distance policy, especially for procedures such as ultrasound (US) imaging, which are usually carried out in person. Tele-operation systems are...
