BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...
Previous studies suggest that the combination of robot-assisted training with other concurrent tasks may promote the functional recovery and improvement better than the single task. It is well-established that robot-assisted rehabilitation training ...
Earthworm-like robots have excellent locomotion capability in confined environments. Central pattern generator (CPG) based controllers utilize the dynamics of coupled nonlinear oscillators to spontaneously generate actuation signals for all segments,...
Due to the complexity of deformations in soft manipulators, achieving precise control of their orientation is particularly challenging, especially in the presence of external disturbances and human interactions. Inspired by the decentralized growth m...
This study presents a comprehensive approach for optimizing the acquisition, utilization, and maintenance of ABLVR vascular robots in healthcare settings. Medical robotics, particularly in vascular treatments, necessitates precise resource allocation...
3D soft pressure sensors play an important role in precise robotic operations. Multimodal soft pressure sensors that detect both static and dynamic pressure allow robots to respond accurately and in real time. Here, we present a sensor array with a s...
Therapeutic protocols involving subretinal injection, which hold the promise of saving or restoring sight, are challenging for surgeons because they are at the limits of human motor and perceptual abilities. Excessive or insufficient indentation of t...
BACKGROUND: Amiodarone treatment requires repeated laboratory evaluations of thyroid and liver function due to potential side effects. Robotic process automation uses software robots to automate repetitive and routine tasks, and their use may be exte...
