Robotically assisted long bone biopsy under MRI: cadaver study results.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We have designed and constructed an MR-safe robot made entirely of nonmetallic components with pneumatic actuators and optical encoders. The robot was developed to enable bone biopsies to be performed under magnetic resonanc...

Trends in robot-assisted and virtual reality-assisted neuromuscular therapy: a systematic review of health-related multiplayer games.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Multiplayer games have emerged as a promising approach to increase the motivation of patients involved in rehabilitation therapy. In this systematic review, we evaluated recent publications in health-related multiplayer games that involve...

Using telepresence for social connection: views of older people with dementia, families, and health professionals from a mixed methods pilot study.

Aging & mental health
To explore the acceptability of telepresence robots in dementia care from the perspectives of people with dementia, family carers, and health professionals/trainees, and investigate the utility of a social presence assessment tool, the Modified-Temp...

Use of a robotic walking aid in rehabilitation to reduce fear of falling is feasible and acceptable from the end user's perspective: A randomised comparative study.

Maturitas
Objectives To determine the acceptability and feasibility of the use of a robotic walking aid to support the work of physiotherapists in reducing fear of falling in the rehabilitation of elderly patients with 'psychomotor disadaptation' (the most sev...

Preliminary study on alginate/NIPAM hydrogel-based soft microrobot for controlled drug delivery using electromagnetic actuation and near-infrared stimulus.

Biomedical microdevices
Currently, microrobots are receiving attention because of their small size and motility, which can be applied to minimal invasive therapy. Additionally, various microrobots using hydrogel with the characteristics of biocompatibility and biodegradabil...

Robot-assisted percutaneous placement of K-wires during minimally invasive interventions of the spine.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
To assess the accuracy and time requirements of image-guided percutaneous K-wire insertion in the spine using an advanced robot assistance device for needle guidance and to demonstrate a radiation-free workflow for the physician. A planning CT-scan...

Social Conformity Effects on Trust in Simulation-Based Human-Robot Interaction.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the co-acting influences of communication and social conformity on trust in human-robot interaction.

Perceptual Generalization and Context in a Network Memory Inspired Long-Term Memory for Artificial Cognition.

International journal of neural systems
In the framework of open-ended learning cognitive architectures for robots, this paper deals with the design of a Long-Term Memory (LTM) structure that can accommodate the progressive acquisition of experience-based decision capabilities, or what dif...

A review on animal-robot interaction: from bio-hybrid organisms to mixed societies.

Biological cybernetics
Living organisms are far superior to state-of-the-art robots as they have evolved a wide number of capabilities that far encompass our most advanced technologies. The merging of biological and artificial world, both physically and cognitively, repres...

Surgical trainee impact on bariatric surgery safety.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are commonly performed bariatric procedures that are associated with a significant learning curve. The effect of surgeon experience on perioperative outcomes and safety is establ...
