Development of a robot-assisted ultrasound-guided radiation therapy (USgRT).

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Radiation treatment is improved by the use of image-guided workflows. This work pursues the approach of using ultrasound (US) as a real-time imaging modality. The primary focus of this study is to develop and test a breathing and motion cont...

Exploring the perceptions of people with dementia about the social robot PARO in a hospital setting.

Dementia (London, England)
New technology, such as social robots, opens up new opportunities in hospital settings. PARO, a robotic pet seal, was designed to provide emotional and social support for older people with dementia. We applied video-ethnographic methods, including co...

Predictors for trifecta achievement of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in high-complexity tumors (Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical score ≥10).

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is emerging as an effective treatment oncologically and functionally for clinically localized renal tumors. However, RAPN in high-complexity tumors with a Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Use...

Haptic Exploration During Fast Video Playback: Vibrotactile Support for Event Search in Robot Operation Videos.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Fast playback allows quick video exploration, but it also decreases the saliency of short events. We propose a haptic exploration for detection of short events during fast video playback, considering that event-related information in vibrotactile fee...

Out damn bot, out: Recruiting real people into substance use studies on the internet.

Substance abuse
While the Internet has become a popular and effective strategy for recruiting substance users into research, there is a large risk of recruiting duplicate individuals and Internet bots that pose as humans. Strategies to mitigate these issues are outl...

Active generation and magnetic actuation of microrobotic swarms in bio-fluids.

Nature communications
In nature, various types of animals will form self-organised large-scale structures. Through designing wireless actuation methods, microrobots can emulate natural swarm behaviours, which have drawn extensive attention due to their great potential in ...

MakeSense: Automated Sensor Design for Proprioceptive Soft Robots.

Soft robotics
Soft robots have applications in safe human-robot interactions, manipulation of fragile objects, and locomotion in challenging and unstructured environments. In this article, we present a computational method for augmenting soft robots with proprioce...

Ethics of socially assistive robots in aged-care settings: a socio-historical contextualisation.

Journal of medical ethics
Different embodiments of technology permeate all layers of public and private domains in society. In the public domain of aged care, attention is increasingly focused on the use of socially assistive robots (SARs) supporting caregivers and older adul...

Robot-assisted versus manual navigated stereoelectroencephalography in adult medically-refractory epilepsy patients.

Epilepsy research
OBJECTIVE: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) has experienced a recent growth in adoption for epileptogenic zone (EZ) localization. Advances in robotics have the potential to improve the efficiency and safety of this intracranial seizure monitoring ...
