The promise of artificial intelligence in health: Portrayals of emerging healthcare technologies.

Sociology of health & illness
Emerging technologies of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) promise to advance many industries. Healthcare is a key locus for new developments, where operational improvements are magnified by the bigger-picture promise o...

Protocol for developing an explosion-propeller hybrid driving underwater robot for AI-based concrete overhaul in real marine environments.

STAR protocols
We recently developed an explosion-propeller hybrid driving underwater robot combined with an AI-based concrete damage detection technique for concrete overhaul in real marine environments. Here, we describe steps for establishing a detection dataset...

Untethered & Stiffness-Tunable Ferromagnetic Liquid Robots for Cleaning Thrombus in Complex Blood Vessels.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Thrombosis is a significant threat to human health. However, the existing clinical treatment methods have limitations. Magnetic soft matter is used in the biomedical field for years, and ferromagnetic liquids exhibit tunable stiffness and on-demand m...

From Biosensors to Robotics: Pioneering Advances in Breast Cancer Management.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Breast cancer stands as the most prevalent form of cancer amongst females, constituting more than one-third of all cancer cases affecting women. It causes aberrant cell development, which can assault or spread to other sections of the body, perhaps l...

Modelling human postural stability and muscle activation augmented by a supernumerary robotic tail.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Wearable robots have promising characteristics for human augmentation; however, the the design and specification stage needs to consider biomechanical impact. In this work, musculoskeletal software is used to assess the biomechanical implications of ...

Effects of high-definition tDCS targeting individual motor hotspot with EMG-driven robotic hand training on upper extremity motor function: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the inte...

Encoding spatiotemporal asymmetry in artificial cilia with a ctenophore-inspired soft-robotic platform.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A remarkable variety of organisms use metachronal coordination (i.e. numerous neighboring appendages beating sequentially with a fixed phase lag) to swim or pump fluid. This coordination strategy is used by microorganisms to break symmetry at small s...

Robotic dog for navigation of a rehabilitation wheelchair robot in a highly constrained environment.

PloS one
Adaptation to technological advancements and intelligent digital tools can enable healthcare providers to overcome the challenges of their patient-oriented care systems and processes. One such intelligent tool is automated assistive robots, which can...

Robotic Assisted Transcranial Doppler Monitoring in Acute Neurovascular Care: A Feasibility and Safety Study.

Neurocritical care
BACKGROUND: Transcranial color Doppler (TCD) is currently the only noninvasive bedside tool capable of providing real-time information on cerebral hemodynamics. However, being operator dependent, TCD monitoring is not feasible in many institutions. R...

Diagnostic performance of an automated robot for MALDI target preparation in microbial identification.

Journal of clinical microbiology
The MBT Pathfinder is an automated colony-picking robot designed for efficient sample preparation in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. This article presents results from three key experiments ev...
