Robotic grasping has become increasingly important in many application areas such as industrial manufacturing and logistics. Because of the diversity and uncertainty of objects and environments, common grippers with one single grasping mode face diff...
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic injection (EI) has been considered a minimally invasive option with high success rates. However, in clinical settings where EI has failed, and after repeat injections or worsening clinical presentation, different treatment moda...
We are witnessing a rise in the use of ground and aerial robots in first response missions. These robots provide novel opportunities to support first responders and lower the risk to people's lives. As these robots become increasingly autonomous, res...
BACKGROUND: Psychosocial issues, such as social isolation and loneliness among older adults and people with dementia, continue to pose challenges with a rapidly aging population worldwide. Social robots are a rapidly emerging field of technology, dev...
Uterus transplantation is a non-lifesaving vascularized composite allotransplantation procedure requiring immunosuppression until removal of the graft. The focus of uterus transplantation is changing regarding refining individual treatment procedures...
Fiber-reinforced soft pneumatic actuators (FR-SPAs) are among the most successful soft actuators in the soft robotics community considering their structural strength, motion range, and force output. Inspired by the pneumatic artificial muscle, the be...
The development of robotics and medicine in recent years leads to increasing mutual integration of these two disciplines. The use of specialized robotic solutions in medicine poses new challenges, including the issue of safety. The paper analyzes exi...
