Rolling Locomotion of Cable-Driven Soft Spherical Tensegrity Robots.

Soft robotics
Soft spherical tensegrity robots are novel steerable mobile robotic platforms that are compliant, lightweight, and robust. The geometry of these robots is suitable for rolling locomotion, and they achieve this motion by properly deforming their struc...

Robotic assisted transaxillary thymectomy: Novel approach to thymic surgery.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: We present a video case with a novel, minimally invasive approach to the thymus, which does not require a sternotomy, thoracic incision, or entry into the pleural space.

Skilled reaching tasks for head-fixed mice using a robotic manipulandum.

Nature protocols
Skilled forelimb behaviors are among the most important for studying motor learning in multiple species including humans. This protocol describes learned forelimb tasks for mice using a two-axis robotic manipulandum. Our device provides a highly comp...

Minimalist analogue robot discovers animal-like walking gaits.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robots based on simplified or abstracted biomechanical concepts can be a useful tool for investigating how and why animals move the way they do. In this paper we present an extremely simple quadruped robot, which is able to walk with no form of softw...

Advantages of aquatic animals as models for bio-inspired drones over present AUV technology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robotic systems are becoming more ubiquitous, whether on land, in the air, or in water. In the aquatic realm, aquatic drones including ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) and AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) have opened new opportunities to invest...

Trusting Autonomous Security Robots: The Role of Reliability and Stated Social Intent.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: This research examined the effects of reliability and stated social intent on trust, trustworthiness, and one's willingness to endorse use of an autonomous security robot (ASR).

Comparison Studies of "Ultrathin Parenchyma" Resection and Sharp Dissection in Robotic Partial Nephrectomy for Renal Tumors.

Journal of endourology
The aim of this study was to introduce the "ultrathin parenchyma" resection in a robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) via the retroperitoneal approach, and to assess the feasibility, security, and effectiveness of this technique. We collected ...
