Functional MRI in Conjunction with a Novel MRI-compatible Hand-induced Robotic Device to Evaluate Rehabilitation of Individuals Recovering from Hand Grip Deficits.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging technique that images brain activation in vivo, using endogenous deoxyhemoglobin as an endogenous contrast agent to detect changes in blood-level-dependent oxyg...

Adaptive Fusion-Based Autonomous Laparoscope Control for Semi-Autonomous Surgery.

Journal of medical systems
The purpose of this paper is to develop an autonomous tracking algorithm based on adaptive fusion kinematics method, the autonomous laparoscope control algorithm and adaptive fusion kinematics method are proposed for semi-autonomous surgery, focus on...

Hybrid Jamming for Bioinspired Soft Robotic Fingers.

Soft robotics
This article describes a novel design of bioinspired soft robotic fingers based upon hybrid jamming principle-integrated layer jamming and particle jamming. The finger combines a fiber-reinforced soft pneumatic actuator with a hybrid jamming substrat...

Shape Memory Alloy-Based Soft Finger with Changeable Bending Length Using Targeted Variable Stiffness.

Soft robotics
This work described a bioinspired soft robotic finger with variable bending length to conform objects with different sizes by means of selectively varying the structural stiffness of its segments. The basic design is a shape memory alloy-based soft a...

Cervical-transoral robotic nasopharyngectomy: A preclinical study.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: We performed a preclinical study to assess the feasibility of the cervical-transoral robotic pharyngectomy procedure in surgery for nasopharyngeal cancer, where deep margins and vascular safety are key issues.

Being watched over by a conversation robot may enhance safety in simulated driving.

Journal of safety research
INTRODUCTION: In an aging society that is more and more information-oriented, being able to replace human passengers' protective effects on vehicle drivers with those of social robots is both essential and promising. However, the effects of a social ...

Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Robotic Needle Insertion for Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) significantly reduces the post-transplantation morbidity in patients eligible for partial-thickness cornea grafts. The popular "big bubble" technique for DALK is so challenging, however, that a si...

Investigating cooperation with robotic peers.

PloS one
We explored how people establish cooperation with robotic peers, by giving participants the chance to choose whether to cooperate or not with a more/less selfish robot, as well as a more or less interactive, in a more or less critical environment. We...

Exploring the utility of robots in exposure studies.

Journal of exposure science & environmental epidemiology
Obtaining valid, reliable quantitative exposure data can be a significant challenge for industrial hygienists, exposure scientists, and other health science professionals. In this proof-of-concept study, a robotic platform was programmed to perform a...
