Safety Evaluation and Experimental Study of a New Bionic Muscle Cable-Driven Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Safety is a significant evaluation index of rehabilitation medical devices and a significant precondition for practical application. However, the safety evaluation of cable-driven rehabilitation robots has not been reported, so this work aims to stud...

Robotic radical prostatectomy: analysis of midterm pathologic and oncologic outcomes: A historical series from a high-volume center.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Identifying predictors of positive surgical margins (PSM) and biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) may assist clinicians in formulating prognosis. Aim of the study was to report the midterm oncologic outcomes, to ...

[Robot-Assisted Right Hemihepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma].

Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie
Since the introduction of robot-assisted surgery, increasingly complex operations have been performed with this technique. Robot-assisted operations are also of increasing importance in hepatobiliary surgery. With articulated and scaled movements in ...

Light-driven bimorph soft actuators: design, fabrication, and properties.

Materials horizons
Soft robots that can move like living organisms and adapt to their surroundings are currently in the limelight from fundamental studies to technological applications, due to their advances in material flexibility, human-friendly interaction, and biol...

Can a robot teach me that? Children's ability to imitate robots.

Journal of experimental child psychology
Commensurate with constant technological advances, social robots are increasingly anticipated to enter homes and classrooms; however, little is known about the efficacy of social robots as teaching tools. To investigate children's learning from robot...

An Electrically Actuated Soft Artificial Muscle Based on a High-Performance Flexible Electrothermal Film and Liquid-Crystal Elastomer.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Liquid-crystal elastomer (LCE)-based soft robots and devices via an electrothermal effect under a low driving voltage have attracted a great deal of attention for their ability on generating larger stress, reversible deformation, and versatile actuat...

Effect of the Hybrid Assistive Limb on the Gait Pattern for Cerebral Palsy.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequent childhood motor disability. Achieving ambulation or standing in children with CP has been a major goal of physical therapy. Recently, robot-assisted gait training using the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) has bee...

A biomimetic soft robotic pinna for emulating dynamic reception behavior of horseshoe bats.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Encoding of sensory information is fundamental to closing the performance gap between man-made and biological sensing. It has been hypothesized that the coupling of sensing and actuation, a phenomenon observed in bats among other species, is critical...

The realization of robotic neurorehabilitation in clinical: use of computational intelligence and future prospects analysis.

Expert review of medical devices
: Although there is a need for rehabilitation treatment with the increase in the aging population, the shortage of skilled physicians frustrates this necessity. Robotic technology has been advocated as one of the most viable methods with the potentia...
