Thermoset Shape Memory Polymer Variable Stiffness 4D Robotic Catheters.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Variable stiffness catheters are typically composed of an encapsulated core. The core is usually composed of a low melting point alloy (LMPA) or a thermoplastic polymer (TP). In both cases, there is a need to encapsulate the core with an elastic mate...

The pilot study of group robot intervention on pediatric inpatients and their caregivers, using 'new aibo'.

European journal of pediatrics
The study on robot-assisted therapy in a pediatric field has not been applied sufficiently in clinical settings. The purpose of this pilot study is to explore the potential therapeutic effects of a group robot intervention (GRI), using dog-like socia...

Robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography in young children: technical challenges and considerations.

Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery
Robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) is frequently employed to localize epileptogenic zones in patients with medically refractory epilepsy (MRE). Its methodology is well described in adults, but less so in children. Given the limited in...

Comparing Revo-i and da Vinci in Retzius-Sparing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Preliminary Propensity Score Analysis of Outcomes.

Journal of endourology
This study aims to compare perioperative and oncologic outcomes between matched cohorts of localized prostate cancer (PCa) operated on by the same surgeon using the da Vinci Si robot and the Revo-i robot. Nonmetastatic PCa patients undergoing Retzi...

The creation of phenomena in interactive biorobotics.

Biological cybernetics
In so-called interactive biorobotics, robotic models of living systems interact with animals in controlled experimental settings. By observing how the focal animal reacts to the stimuli delivered by the robot, one tests hypotheses concerning the dete...

Evaluation of the Path-Tracking Accuracy of a Three-Wheeled Omnidirectional Mobile Robot Designed as a Personal Assistant.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents the empirical evaluation of the path-tracking accuracy of a three-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot that is able to move in any direction while simultaneously changing its orientation. The mobile robot assessed in this paper in...

A Smart Capacitive Sensor Skin with Embedded Data Quality Indication for Enhanced Safety in Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Smart sensors are an integral part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and are widely used to add safety measures to human-robot interaction applications. With the advancement of machine learning methods in resource-constrained environments, smart se...

Light-Fueled Polymer Film Capable of Directional Crawling, Friction-Controlled Climbing, and Self-Sustained Motion on a Human Hair.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Recent efforts in stimuli-responsive soft materials have enabled wirelessly controlled actuation with increasing degrees of freedom, yielding miniature robots capable of various locomotion in open environments such as on a plane or inside fluids. How...

Shotgun Proteomics Sample Processing Automated by an Open-Source Lab Robot.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics experiments require multiple sample preparation steps, including enzymatic protein digestion and clean-up, which can take up significant person-hours of bench labor and present a source of batch-to-batch var...

Human-Machine Differentiation in Speed and Separation Monitoring for Improved Efficiency in Human-Robot Collaboration.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human-robot collaborative applications have been receiving increasing attention in industrial applications. The efficiency of the applications is often quite low compared to traditional robotic applications without human interaction. Especially for a...
