Robot-based play-drama intervention may improve the narrative abilities of Chinese-speaking preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder.

Research in developmental disabilities
BACKGROUND: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in their narrative skills and gestural communication. Very few intervention studies have been conducted with the aim of improving these skills.

Design, characterization and optimization of a soft fluidic actuator for minimally invasive surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: In minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy, the rise of soft robotics, using materials of similar softness as biological soft tissues, opens many new opportunities. Soft actuated catheters could become an alternative to current steerable ca...

CT and MRI compatibility of flexible 3D-printed materials for soft actuators and robots used in image-guided interventions.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Three-dimensional (3D) printing allows for the fabrication of medical devices with complex geometries, such as soft actuators and robots that can be used in image-guided interventions. This study investigates flexible and rigid 3D-printing m...

Intelligent architectures for robotics: The merging of cognition and emotion.

Physics of life reviews
What is the place of emotion in intelligent robots? In the past two decades, researchers have advocated for the inclusion of some emotion-related components in the general information processing architecture of autonomous agents, say, for better comm...

An Augmented Reality Based Human-Robot Interaction Interface Using Kalman Filter Sensor Fusion.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, the application of Augmented Reality (AR) for the control and adjustment of robots has been developed, with the aim of making interaction and adjustment of robots easier and more accurate from a remote location. A LeapMotion sensor bas...

Is obesity a contraindication for kidney donation?

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: To enlarge the donor pool, kidney donors with obesity have been considered. We hypothesized that it is safe for patients with obesity to serve as living kidney donors.

What microsurgeon, orthopaedic and plastic surgeon should know about bionic hand.

Injury
Hand loss is a catastrophic event that generates significant demands for orthopedics and prosthetics. In the course of history, prostheses evolved from passive esthetic replacements to sophisticated robotic hands. Yet, their actuation and particularl...

Dropping Counter: A Detection Algorithm for Identifying Odour-Evoked Responses from Noisy Electroantennograms Measured by a Flying Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The electroantennogram (EAG) is a technique used for measuring electrical signals from the antenna of an insect. Its rapid response time, quick recovery speed, and high sensitivity make it suitable for odour-tracking tasks employing mobile robots. Ho...
