A Human-Machine Interface Based on an EOG and a Gyroscope for Humanoid Robot Control and Its Application to Home Services.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The human-machine interface (HMI) has been studied for robot teleoperation with the aim of empowering people who experience motor disabilities to increase their interaction with the physical environment. The challenge of an HMI for robot control is t...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of stage I endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic oncology
OBJECTIVE: Recent reports in both cervical and endometrial cancer suggest that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) had an unanticipated negative impact on long-term clinical outcomes, including recurrence and death. Given increasing use of robotic surge...

Decoupling and Reprogramming the Wiggling Motion of Midge Larvae Using a Soft Robotic Platform.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
The efficient motility of invertebrates helps them survive under evolutionary pressures. Reconstructing the locomotion of invertebrates and decoupling the influence of individual basic motion are crucial for understanding their underlying mechanisms,...

Designing Robots for Elderly from the Perspective of Potential End-Users: A Sociological Approach.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The proposed research aims to investigate the problem of age-friendly robot designing from the perspective of the potential end-users. The initial objectives addressed three main issues: how the elderly envision robots and their knowledge on technolo...

Redundancy and overactuation in cephalopod-inspired soft robot arms.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Current soft robotic arms commonly follow traditional-i.e. hard-robot design conventions. Omnidirectional soft arms most commonly consist of segments that contain three parallel longitudinal actuators, or actuator groups, of which one or two are acti...

Passivity of Series Elastic Actuation Under Model Reference Force Control During Null Impedance Rendering.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Series elastic actuation (SEA) is an interaction control paradigm that relies on a compliant force sensing element and utilizes the model of this compliant dynamics in closed-loop force control. We present sufficient conditions for passivity of SEA u...

A Lightweight Accessible Wearable Robotic Interface for Bimanual Haptic Manipulations.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Wearable devices with bimanual force feedback enable natural and cooperative manipulations within an unrestricted space. Weight and cost have a great influence on the potential applications of a haptic device. This paper presents a wearable robotic i...

Robots as models of evolving systems.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Experimental robobiological physics can bring insights into biological evolution. We present a development of hybrid analog/digital autonomous robots with mutable diploid dominant/recessive 6-byte genomes. The robots are capable of death, rebirth, an...
