Evaluation of a novel robotic testing method for stability and kinematics of total knee arthroplasty.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: This work developed a novel preclinical test of total knee replacements (TKRs) in order to explain TKR instability linked to patient dissatisfaction. It was hypothesized that stability tests on the isolated moving prostheses would provide no...

A Bio-Inspired Magnetic Soft Robotic Fish for Efficient Solar-Energy Driven Water Purification.

Small methods
Solar-driven water evaporation is a promising solution for global water scarcity but is still facing challenges due to its substantial energy requirements. Here, a magnetic soft robotic bionic fish is developed by combining magnetic nanoparticles (Fe...

Active Quantum Biomaterials-Enhanced Microrobots for Food Safety.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Timely disruptive tools for the detection of pathogens in foods are needed to face global health and economic challenges. Herein, the utilization of quantum biomaterials-enhanced microrobots (QBEMRs) as autonomous mobile sensors designed for the prec...

Bio-inspired circular soft actuators for simulating defecation process of human rectum.

Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs
Soft robots have found extensive applications in the medical field, particularly in rehabilitation exercises, assisted grasping, and artificial organs. Despite significant advancements in simulating various components of the digestive system, the rec...

Accuracy of Zygomatic Implant Placement Using Task-Autonomous Robotic System or Dynamic Navigation: An In Vitro Study.

Clinical oral implants research
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of task-autonomous robot-assisted implant surgery (RAIS) and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (dCAIS) for zygomatic implant placement.

Inter- and intra-rater reliability of cognitive assessment conducted by assistive robot for older adults living in the community: a preliminary study.

Psychogeriatrics : the official journal of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to reveal inter- and intra-rater reliability of the detailed evaluation of cognitive function by assistive robot for older adults.

Electrocardiogram and respiration recordings show a reduction in the physical burden on professional caregivers when performing care tasks with a transfer support robot.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
In this study, we assessed the physical burden on professional caregivers when using a transfer support robot, "Hug," to transfer and move a care recipient. We compared heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and the time-series synchronizatio...

Distributed leader-following bipartite consensus for one-sided Lipschitz multi-agent systems via dual-terminal event-triggered mechanism.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
This article analyses leader-following bipartite consensus for one-sided Lipschitz multi-agent systems by dual-terminal event-triggered output feedback control approach. A distributed observer is designed to estimate unknown system states by employin...

A Biomimetic Adhesive Disc for Robotic Adhesion Sliding Inspired by the Net-Winged Midge Larva.

Soft robotics
Net-winged midge larvae (Blephariceridae) are known for their remarkable ability to adhere to and crawl on the slippery surfaces of rocks in fast-flowing and turbulent alpine streams, waterfalls, and rivers. This remarkable performance can be attribu...

Activation of a Soft Robotic Left Ventricular Phantom Embedded in a Closed-Loop Cardiovascular Simulator: A Computational and Experimental Analysis.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: Cardiovascular simulators are used in the preclinical testing phase of medical devices. Their reliability increases the more they resemble clinically relevant scenarios. In this study, a physiologically actuated soft robotic left ventricle (...
