Synthesizing the temporal self: robotic models of episodic and autobiographical memory.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Episodic memories are experienced as belonging to a self that persists in time. We review evidence concerning the nature of human episodic memory and of the sense of self and how these emerge during development, proposing that the younger child exper...

Nursing Staff's Perspectives of Care Robots for Assisted Living Facilities: Systematic Literature Review.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Care robots have been proposed in response to nursing shortages in assisted living facilities (ALFs) and the growing population of older adults. While the use of care robots may improve the general health and well-being of older adults, t...

A Novel Bilateral Underactuated Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Bimanual ADL Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a lightweight bilateral underactuated upper limb exoskeleton (UULE) designed to assist chronic stroke patients with distal joint (Elbow-Wrist) impairments during bimanual activities of daily living (ADL). The UULE aims to assist...

Perceived Usefulness of Robotic Technology for Patient Fall Prevention.

Workplace health & safety
BACKGROUND: Technology has the potential to prevent patient falls in healthcare settings and to reduce work-related injuries among healthcare providers. However, the usefulness and acceptability of each technology requires careful evaluation. Framed ...

German sugar beet farmers' intention to use autonomous field robots for seeding and weeding.

Journal of environmental management
Robotic weed control is not yet widely adopted, despite its technological availability and proven economics and sustainability in crop cultivation by replacing seasonal labor and synthetic pesticides. This impedes technologically enabled changes towa...

MRI-compatible and sensorless haptic feedback for cable-driven medical robotics to perform teleoperated needle-based interventions.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Surgical robotics have demonstrated their significance in assisting physicians during minimally invasive surgery. Especially, the integration of haptic and tactile feedback technologies can enhance the surgeon's performance and overall patie...

A transcrestal sinus floor elevation strategy based on a haptic robot system: An in vitro study.

Clinical implant dentistry and related research
OBJECTIVES: To reveal the force profiles recorded by haptic autonomous robotic force feedback during the transcrestal sinus floor elevation (TSFE) process, providing a reference for the surgery strategy during TSFE.

Squid-Inspired Anti-Salt Skin-Like Elastomers With Superhigh Damage Resistance for Aquatic Soft Robots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Cephalopod skins evolve multiple functions in response to environmental adaptation, encompassing nonlinear mechanoreponse, damage tolerance property, and resistance to seawater. Despite tremendous progress in skin-mimicking materials, the integration...

A Pneumatic Flexible Linear Actuator Inspired by Snake Swallowing.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Soft robots spark a revolution in human-machine interaction. However, developing high-performance soft actuators remains challenging due to trade-offs among output force, driving distance, control precision, safety, and compliance. Here, addressing t...
