A qualitative exploration of care homes workers' views and training needs in relation to the use of socially assistive humanoid robots in their workplace.

International journal of older people nursing
AIM: The study aimed to explore the views and attitudes of care home workers about the socially assistive robot that was trialled in their workplace, in order to identify training needs in relation to the hypothetical future use of these robots in th...

Automatic and accurate needle detection in 2D ultrasound during robot-assisted needle insertion process.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Robot-assisted needle insertion guided by 2D ultrasound (US) can effectively improve the accuracy and success rate of clinical puncture. To this end, automatic and accurate needle-tracking methods are important for monitoring puncture proces...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Study.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate and compare the effects of conventional and robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) programs on fatigue, mood, and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis who have fatigue.

Sky and Ground Segmentation in the Navigation Visions of the Planetary Rovers.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sky and ground are two essential semantic components in computer vision, robotics, and remote sensing. The sky and ground segmentation has become increasingly popular. This research proposes a sky and ground segmentation framework for the rover navig...

Predictive Maintenance: An Autoencoder Anomaly-Based Approach for a 3 DoF Delta Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Performing predictive maintenance (PdM) is challenging for many reasons. Dealing with large datasets which may not contain run-to-failure data (R2F) complicates PdM even more. When no R2F data are available, identifying condition indicators (CIs), es...

The Influence of Robot-Assisted Learning System on Health Literacy and Learning Perception.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Healthy aging is a new challenge for the world. Therefore, health literacy education is a key issue in the current health care field. This research has developed a robot-assisted learning system to explore the possibility of significantly improving h...

Early Catheter Removal on Postoperative Day 2 After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Updated Real-life Experience with the Aalst Technique.

European urology focus
We evaluated the feasibility and impact on short- and long-term functional outcomes of very early catheter removal on postoperative day (POD) 2 after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multisu...

Social implementation of a remote surgery system in Japan: a field experiment using a newly developed surgical robot via a commercial network.

Surgery today
PURPOSE: In recent years, the expectations for telesurgery have grown with the development of robot-assisted surgical technology and advances in communication technology. To verify the feasibility of the social implementation of telesurgery, we evalu...

The importance of developing care-worker-centered robotic aides in long-term care.

Bioethics
Recent research points to the fact that new medical technological innovations are just as relevant in the context of long-term care or chronic care as they are in the context of acute care. In the spirit of the Nuffield Foundation recommendations, th...

Development and validation of a two-segment continuum robot for maxillary sinus surgery.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Existing rigid instruments have difficulties in backward inspection and operation. Moreover, the pathway to the maxillary sinus is curved and narrow, resulting in complex and repetitive manual operations. There is a necessity to develop a...
