A bio-inspired robotic fish utilizes the snap-through buckling of its spine to generate accelerations of more than 20g.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the fastest observed live fishes, we have designed, built and tested a robotic fish that emulates the fast-start maneuver of these fishes and generates acceleration and velocity magnitudes comparable to those of the live fishes within the...

The DREAM Dataset: Supporting a data-driven study of autism spectrum disorder and robot enhanced therapy.

PloS one
We present a dataset of behavioral data recorded from 61 children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The data was collected during a large-scale evaluation of Robot Enhanced Therapy (RET). The dataset covers over 3000 therapy sessions and...

Expectations vs. actual behavior of a social robot: An experimental investigation of the effects of a social robot's interaction skill level and its expected future role on people's evaluations.

PloS one
Since social robots are increasingly entering areas of people's personal lives, it is crucial to examine what affects people's perceptions and evaluations of these robots. In this study, three potential influences are examined: 1) the robot's level o...

Impact of obesity on surgical and oncologic outcomes in patients with endometrial cancer treated with a robotic approach.

The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research
AIM: The surgical treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) can be more complicated in obese patients. Robotic surgery could simplify the surgical approach in these patients. The aim of our study was to compare the outcomes of robotic surgery in obese (bo...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic unroofing and fulguration of sequestered caliceal diverticula cluster.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: We report a rare case of four sequestered caliceal diverticula that failed previous percutaneous sclerotherapy and were subsequently managed with robot-assisted laparoscopic unroofing and fulguration of the sequestered diverticula clust...

MagWorm: A Biomimetic Magnet Embedded Worm-Like Soft Robot.

Soft robotics
Emerging worm-like soft robots with various soft materials and different actuation mechanism have been frequently discussed. It is very challenging for soft robots in realizing a fast and untethered crawling. In this article, a biomimetic magnet embe...

Fluid Mechanics of Pneumatic Soft Robots.

Soft robotics
Pressurization of gas within embedded channels and cavities is a popular method for actuating soft robots. Various previous works examined the effects of internal fluid mechanics on this actuation approach, as well as on leveraging viscous effects to...

Circular Shell Gripper for Handling Food Products.

Soft robotics
Pneumatically driven soft robotic grippers have been extensively studied in recent years. A majority of the grippers, especially those entirely composed of soft materials, can adapt to and handle various objects. However, there are limited studies re...
