Reducing the energy cost of running using a lightweight, low-profile elastic exosuit.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Human beings can enhance their distance running performance with the help of assistive devices. Although several such devices are available, they are heavy and bulky, which limits their use in everyday activities. In this study, we develo...

Robot-Assisted Gait Training Plan for Patients in Poststroke Recovery Period: A Single Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: Walking dysfunction exists in most patients after stroke. Evidence regarding gait training in two weeks is scarce in resource-limited settings; this study was conducted to investigate the effects of a short-term robot-assisted gait traini...

Malfunction Events in the US FDA MAUDE Database: How Does Robotic Gynecologic Surgery Compare with Other Specialties?

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review malfunction events (MEs) related to the use of the da Vinci robot reported to the United States Food and Drug Administration Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience in the last 10 years and compare gynecologic surg...

The Increasing Centrality of Robotic Technology in the Context of Nursing Care: Bioethical Implications Analyzed through a Scoping Review Approach.

Journal of healthcare engineering
At the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, the healthcare industry is experiencing a momentous shift in the direction of increasingly pervasive technologization of care. If, up until the 2000s, imagining healthcare provided by robots was a pure...

Robot Death and Human Grief in Films: Qualitative Study.

Omega
Extant grief studies examine the way humans mourn the loss of a nonhuman, be it an animal, object, or abstract concept. Yet little is known about grief when it comes to robots. As humans are increasingly brought into contact with more human-like mach...

An image-guided hybrid robot system for dental implant surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Dental implant surgery is an effective method for remediating the loss of teeth. Robot is expected to increase the accuracy of dental implant surgery. However, most of them are industrial serial robot, with low stiffness and non-unique inver...

Maneuverable gait selection for a novel fish-inspired robot using a CMA-ES-assisted workflow.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Among underwater vehicles, fish-inspired designs are often selected for their efficient gaits; these designs, however, remain limited in their maneuverability, especially in confined spaces. This paper presents a new design for a fish-inspired robot ...

Implementation of a standardized robotic assistant surgical training curriculum.

Journal of robotic surgery
Since 2000, robotic-assisted surgery has rapidly expanded into almost every surgical sub-specialty. Despite the popularity of robotic surgery across the United States, a national consensus for standardized training and education of robotic surgeons o...

Intuitive Spatial Tactile Feedback for Better Awareness about Robot Trajectory during Human-Robot Collaboration.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this work, we extend the previously proposed approach of improving mutual perception during human-robot collaboration by communicating the robot's motion intentions and status to a human worker using hand-worn haptic feedback devices. The improvem...

Image Generation for 2D-CNN Using Time-Series Signal Features from Foot Gesture Applied to Select Cobot Operating Mode.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Advances in robotics are part of reducing the burden associated with manufacturing tasks in workers. For example, the cobot could be used as a "third-arm" during the assembling task. Thus, the necessity of designing new intuitive control modalities a...
