Alterations in muscle activation patterns during robot-assisted bilateral training: A pilot study.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Robot-assisted bilateral training is being developed as a new rehabilitation approach for stroke patients. However, there is still a lack of understanding of muscle functions when performing robot-assisted synchronous movements. The aim of this work ...

Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of humanoid robot-based distraction for venipuncture pain in children.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Intravenous insertion (IVI) is a very common procedure in the emergency department (ED). IVI is often painful and stressful for both children and their families. Currently, distraction therapy is not used as a standard of care for IVI i...

What is a cognitive map? Unravelling its mystery using robots.

Cognitive processing
Despite years of research into cognitive mapping, the process remains controversial and little understood. A computational theory of cognitive mapping is needed, but developing it is difficult due to the lack of a clear interpretation of the empirica...

Toward Standardizing the Classification of Robotic Gait Rehabilitation Systems.

IEEE reviews in biomedical engineering
With the existence of numerous rehabilitation systems, classification and comparison becomes difficult, especially due to the many factors involved. Moreover, most current reviews are descriptive and do not provide systematic methods for the visual c...

Maneuvering and stabilization control of a bipedal robot with a universal-spatial robotic tail.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper analyzes control methodologies to implement maneuvering and stabilization behaviors in a bipedal robot using a bioinspired robotic tail. Looking to nature, numerous animals augment their legs' functionality using a tail nature, numerous an...

Development and flight performance of a biologically-inspired tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle with wing stroke plane modulation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) is one of the most challenging problems in flapping-wing design due to its lack of tail for inherent flight stability. It must be designed in such a way that it can produce proper augmented contro...

Robot-assisted abdominal wall surgery: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.

Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
PURPOSE: The number of robot-assisted hernia repairs is increasing, but the potential benefits have not been well described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the available literature reporting on outcomes after robot-assisted hernia repairs.
