A Multi-Modal Person Perception Framework for Socially Interactive Mobile Service Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In order to meet the increasing demands of mobile service robot applications, a dedicated perception module is an essential requirement for the interaction with users in real-world scenarios. In particular, multi sensor fusion and human re-identifica...

Automatic versus manual tuning of robot-assisted gait training in people with neurological disorders.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, therapists choose the amount of assistance for robot-assisted training. This can result in outcomes that are influenced by subjective decisions and tuning of training parameters can be time-consuming. Therefore, vari...

Robotic fluidic coupling and interrogation of multiple vascularized organ chips.

Nature biomedical engineering
Organ chips can recapitulate organ-level (patho)physiology, yet pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses require multi-organ systems linked by vascular perfusion. Here, we describe an 'interrogator' that employs liquid-handling robotics, custom s...

Caring About the Human Operator: Haptic Shared Control for Enhanced User Comfort in Robotic Telemanipulation.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Haptic shared control enables a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the control of a robotic system using haptic active constraints. It has been used in robotic teleoperation for different purposes, such as navigating along paths min...

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy: Review of surgical technique, and perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
Since the introduction of robot-assisted radical cystectomy, efforts have been made to meet the standards in terms of perioperative safety and oncological efficacy. Several randomized controlled studies and meta-analyses, and multi-institutional stud...

Pilot and Feasibility Study on Elderly Support Services Using Communicative Robots and Monitoring Sensors Integrated With Cloud Robotics.

Clinical therapeutics
PURPOSE: This pilot before-after study investigated the possible effects of communicative robots, used with a sensing system supported by cloud robotics, in caring for elderly people.

Soft Rod-Climbing Robot Inspired by Winding Locomotion of Snake.

Soft robotics
Soft climbing robots have attracted much attention of researchers for their potential applications on the wall or inside the tube. However, making a soft robot climb on the outer surface of a rod or tube by agile and efficient motion has long been a ...

Shaping technologies for older adults with and without dementia: Reflections on ethics and preferences.

Health informatics journal
As a result of several years of European funding, progressive introduction of assistive technologies in our society has provided many researchers and companies with opportunities to develop new information and communication technologies aimed at over...

Untethered Soft Robotics with Fully Integrated Wireless Sensing and Actuating Systems for Somatosensory and Respiratory Functions.

Soft robotics
There has been a great deal of interest in designing soft robots that can mimic a human system with haptic and proprioceptive functions. There is now a strong demand for soft robots that can sense their surroundings and functions in harsh environment...
