Robotic dispensing improves patient safety, inventory management, and staff satisfaction in an outpatient hospital pharmacy.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Implementation of robotic systems in outpatient hospital pharmacies is uncommon. Other than cost, 1 of the barriers to widespread adoption is the lack of definitive evidence that this technology actually reduces dispen...

Morphological intelligence counters foot slipping in the desert locust and dynamic robots.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
During dynamic terrestrial locomotion, animals use complex multifunctional feet to extract friction from the environment. However, whether roboticists assume sufficient surface friction for locomotion or actively compensate for slipping, they use rel...

A marker-based contactless catheter-sensing method to detect surgeons' operations for catheterization training systems.

Biomedical microdevices
It is challenging to position a catheter or a guidewire within a patient's complicated and delicate vascular structure due to the lack of intuitive visual feedback by only manipulating the proximal part of the surgical instruments. Training is theref...

Minimally invasive donor nephrectomy: current state of the art.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
BACKGROUND: The concept of a minimally invasive live donor nephrectomy developed over 20 years ago. Surgeons gained expertise with the laparoscopic technique and utilized multiple variations that are now utilized in transplant centers throughout the ...

Robotic microplate voltammetry for real-time hydrogel drug release testing.

Analytica chimica acta
Robotic square wave voltammetry (SVW) in 24-well microtiter plates has been developed as a reliable non-manual procedure for quantifying drug release from pharmaceutical hydrogels. The assay was established using 1% agarose disks containing Paracetam...

Real-time microrobot posture recognition via biplane X-ray imaging system for external electromagnetic actuation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: As a promising intravascular therapeutic approach for autonomous catheterization, especially for thrombosis treatment, a microrobot or robotic catheter driven by an external electromagnetic actuation system has been recently investigated. Ho...

Effect of Initial Graft Tension During Calcaneofibular Ligament Reconstruction on Ankle Kinematics and Laxity.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: Although a variety of surgical procedures for lateral ankle ligament reconstruction have frequently been reported, little is known about the effects of initial graft tension. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to investigate the effects ...

Application of chaos in a recurrent neural network to control in ill-posed problems: a novel autonomous robot arm.

Biological cybernetics
Inspired by a viewpoint that complex/chaotic dynamics would play an important role in biological systems including the brain, chaotic dynamics introduced in a recurrent neural network was applied to robot control in ill-posed situations. By computer ...

Developing a Three- to Six-State EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interface for a Virtual Robotic Manipulator Control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: We develop an electroencephalography (EEG)-based noninvasive brain-computer interface (BCI) system having short training time (15 min) that can be applied for high-performance control of robotic prosthetic systems.
