Attributing Blame to Robots: I. The Influence of Robot Autonomy.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: The research examined how humans attribute blame to humans, nonautonomous robots, autonomous robots, or environmental factors for scenarios in which errors occur.

Interfacing Soft and Hard: A Spring Reinforced Actuator.

Soft robotics
Muscular hydrostats have long been a source of inspiration for soft robotic designs. With their inherent compliance, they excel in unpredictable environments and can gently manipulate objects with ease. However, their performance lacks where high for...

Effects of robotic neurorehabilitation through lokomat plus virtual reality on cognitive function in patients with traumatic brain injury: A retrospective case-control study.

The International journal of neuroscience
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a clinical condition characterized by damage due to a mechanical physical event, which has a devastating impact on both the patient and his/her family. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of robotic n...

Micro-nanorobots: important considerations when developing novel drug delivery platforms.

Expert opinion on drug delivery
: There is growing emphasis on the development of bioinspired and biohybrid micro/nanorobots for the targeted drug delivery (TDD). Particularly, stimuli-responsive materials and magnetically triggered systems, identified as the most promising materia...

Person transfer assist systems: a literature review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
OBJECTIVE: Novel developments in the robotics field have produced systems that can support person wheelchair transfers, maximize safety and reduce caregiver burden. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe these systems, their usability...

Design and development of a robotic predator as a stimulus in conditioned place aversion for the study of the effect of ethanol and citalopram in zebrafish.

Behavioural brain research
Zebrafish are becoming a species of choice in psychopharmacology, laying a promising path to refined pharmacological manipulations and high-throughput behavioral phenotyping. The field of robotics has the potential to accelerate progress along this p...

Integration, Sensing, and Control of a Modular Soft-Rigid Pneumatic Lower Limb Exoskeleton.

Soft robotics
This article presents the system integration, sensing, and control of a novel modular soft-rigid pneumatic exoskeleton for lower limb. The proposed exoskeleton consists of three soft hinges (to drive the hip, knee, and ankle joints) and four rigid li...

A microsurgical robot research platform for robot-assisted microsurgery research and training.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Ocular surgery, ear, nose and throat surgery and neurosurgery are typical types of microsurgery. A versatile training platform can assist microsurgical skills development and accelerate the uptake of robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS). Howev...

Robot controlled, continuous passive movement of the ankle reduces spinal cord excitability in participants with spasticity: a pilot study.

Experimental brain research
Spasticity of the ankle reduces quality of life by impeding walking and other activities of daily living. Robot-driven continuous passive movement (CPM) is a strategy for lower limb spasticity management but effects on spasticity, walking ability and...
