Impedance for Assistance: Upper-Limb Assistive Soft Robotic Suit Using Linked-Layer Jamming Mechanisms.

Soft robotics
Wearable robots, especially those composed of soft materials, are increasingly attracting interest due to their comfort, ease of donning and doffing, and their ability to provide assistance across various applications. In wearable robotics, striking ...

Motion Planning and Control with Environmental Uncertainties for Humanoid Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Humanoid robots are typically designed for static environments, but real-world applications demand robust performance under dynamic, uncertain conditions. This paper introduces a perceptive motion planning and control algorithm that enables humanoid ...

Analysis and actuation design of a novel at-scale 3-DOF biomimetic flapping-wing mechanism inspired by flying insects.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Insects' flight is imbued with endless mysteries, offering valuable inspiration to the flapping-wing robots. Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unstead...

Learning performance and physiological feedback-based evaluation for human-robot collaboration.

Applied ergonomics
The development of Industry 4.0 has resulted in tremendous transformations in the manufacturing sector to supplement the human workforce through collaboration with robots. This emphasis on a human-centered approach is a vital aspect in promoting resi...

The Role and Future of Artificial Intelligence in Robotic Image-Guided Interventions.

Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology
Artificial intelligence and robotics are transforming interventional radiology, driven by advancements in computer vision, robotics and procedural automation. Historically focused on diagnostics, AI now also enhances procedural capabilities in IR, en...

Scientific reports
This study employs Conversation Analysis to create a recursive model that improves the quality of human-robot interaction. Our research goal is to create a dialogue robot that offers pleasant experiences for users, so they are willing to engage in re...

Does industrial robot adoption inhibit environmental pollution in China? An empirical study on energy consumption and green technology innovation.

Journal of environmental management
In this research, we develop a theoretical model to examine the relationship between the adoption of industrial robots and environmental pollution. Additionally, we explore the mechanisms through which the implementation of industrial robots influenc...

Activities of Daily Living Object Dataset: Advancing Assistive Robotic Manipulation with a Tailored Dataset.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The increasing number of individuals with disabilities-over 61 million adults in the United States alone-underscores the urgent need for technologies that enhance autonomy and independence. Among these individuals, millions rely on wheelchairs and of...

Time Efficiency and Ergonomic Assessment of a Robotic Wheelchair Transfer System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
: Caregivers experience high rates of occupational injuries, especially during wheelchair transfers, which often result in back pain and musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of lifting and repositioning. While mechanical floor lifts,...

Assessing Visitor Expectations of AI Nursing Robots in Hospital Settings: Cross-Sectional Study Using the Kano Model.

JMIR nursing
BACKGROUND: Globally, the rates at which the aging population and the prevalence of chronic diseases are increasing are substantial. With declining birth rates and a growing percentage of older individuals, the demand for nursing staff is steadily ri...
