The RoScan Thermal 3D Body Scanning System: Medical Applicability and Benefits for Unobtrusive Sensing and Objective Diagnosis.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The RoScan is a novel, high-accuracy multispectral surface scanning system producing colored 3D models that include a thermal layer. (1) Background: at present, medicine still exhibits a lack of objective diagnostic methods. As many diseases involve ...

The Perceptions of People with Dementia and Key Stakeholders Regarding the Use and Impact of the Social Robot MARIO.

International journal of environmental research and public health
People with dementia often experience loneliness and social isolation. This can result in increased cognitive decline which, in turn, has a negative impact on quality of life. This paper explores the use of the social robot, MARIO, with older people ...

Initial clinical experience with Single-Port robotic (SP r) left colectomy using the SP surgical system: description of the technique.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The daVinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a new robotic platform designed to overcome the challenges of Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and technical aspects of SP robotic (S...

Adapting a Low-Cost and Open-Source Commercial Pipetting Robot for Nanoliter Liquid Handling.

SLAS technology
Low-volume liquid handling capabilities in bioanalytical workflows can dramatically improve sample processing efficiency and reduce reagent costs, yet many commercial nanoliter liquid handlers cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. We have succes...

Haptic Intracorporeal Palpation Using a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot: A User Study.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative palpation is a surgical gesture jeopardized by the lack of haptic feedback which affects robotic minimally invasive surgery. Restoring the force reflection in teleoperated systems may improve both surgeons' performance and p...

Brain-Computer Interface-Based Soft Robotic Glove Rehabilitation for Stroke.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled feasibility study investigates the ability for clinical application of the Brain-Computer Interface-based Soft Robotic Glove (BCI-SRG) incorporating activities of daily living (ADL)-oriented tasks for stroke reha...

Visual Guidance and Egg Collection Scheme for a Smart Poultry Robot for Free-Range Farms.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Free-range chicken farming allows egg-laying hens to move freely through their environment and perform their natural behavior, including laying her eggs. However, it takes time to gather these eggs manually, giving rise to high labor costs. This stud...

Perspectives of Child Life Specialists After Many Years of Working With a Humanoid Robot in a Pediatric Hospital: Narrative Design.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Child life specialists (CLSs) play an important role in supporting patients and their families during their visits to a children's hospital. Although CLSs are equipped with considerable expertise to support families during some of the mos...

How automatic speed control based on distance affects user behaviours in telepresence robot navigation within dense conference-like environments.

PloS one
Telepresence robots allow users to be spatially and socially present in remote environments. Yet, it can be challenging to remotely operate telepresence robots, especially in dense environments such as academic conferences or workplaces. In this pape...

Robot-assisted Radical Nephrectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies.

European urology
CONTEXT: Radical nephrectomy (RN) is the gold standard treatment for large and locally advanced renal tumors. Although robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RRN) is being increasingly adopted, it remains unclear whether it offers benefits over standard...
