UVC disinfection robot.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The aim of the present work is to contribute in the fight against the spread of Covid-19, a novel human coronavirus, in hospitals, public transport, airlines, and any enclosed areas. In this study, we have adopted the physical disinfection method by ...

Telerobotic Sonography for Remote Diagnostic Imaging: Narrative Review of Current Developments and Clinical Applications.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
Access to sonographers and sonologists is limited in many communities around the world. Telerobotic sonography (robotic ultrasound) is a new technology to increase access to sonography, providing sonographers and sonologists the ability to manipulate...

Recovery of reward function in problematic substance users using a combination of robotics, electrophysiology, and TMS.

International journal of psychophysiology : official journal of the International Organization of Psychophysiology
BACKGROUND: Theoretical and empirical work suggest that addictive drugs potentiate dopaminergic reinforcement learning signals and disrupt the reward function of its neural targets, including the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) and the basal gang...

Investigating Habitability with an Integrated Rock-Climbing Robot and Astrobiology Instrument Suite.

Astrobiology
A prototype rover carrying an astrobiology payload was developed and deployed at analog field sites to mature generalized system architectures capable of searching for biosignatures in extreme terrain across the Solar System. Specifically, the four-l...

[Gerontology, geriatric medicine and robot research : Look back to the future].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
Assistive robotics as a gerontological geriatric field of research so far seem to be perceived more as "recalcitrant". Predominant is a reserved attitude as to whether this should be considered a research topic to be taken seriously. The reliability ...

Light-steered locomotion of muscle-like hydrogel by self-coordinated shape change and friction modulation.

Nature communications
Many creatures have the ability to traverse challenging environments by using their active muscles with anisotropic structures as the motors in a highly coordinated fashion. However, most artificial robots require multiple independently activated act...

Temporary pacemaker insertion for severe bradycardia following pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a case report.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Pneumoperitoneum to maintain a constant gas flow to assist various surgeries is known to cause severe bradycardia and has been linked to heart failure;; however, a recent study demonstrated that it is not linked to poorer surgical outcome...

Feasibility, safety and efficacy of argon beam coagulation in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for solid renal masses ≤ 7 cm in size.

Journal of robotic surgery
One of the most important steps of the partial nephrectomy (PN) is hemostatic control of tumor bed which also effects the warm ischemia time (WIT). Argon beam coagulation (ABC) for decades is a well-known method for surface controls during major open...
