Advanced rehabilitation in ischaemic stroke research.

Stroke and vascular neurology
At present, due to the rapid progress of treatment technology in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke, the mortality of patients has been greatly reduced but the number of disabled survivors is increasing, and most of them are elderly patients. Physic...

Robot-assisted gait training in patients with various neurological diseases: A mixed methods feasibility study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Walking impairment represents a relevant symptom in patients with neurological diseases often compromising social participation. Currently, mixed methods studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with rare neurological di...

Assessment of chemical contamination by cancer drugs during use of the RIVA compounding robot: A pilot study.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
IntroductionMany hospitals are now investing in robotic compounding system for the preparation of cytotoxic agents. The objective of the present study was to describe contamination by cytotoxics inside and outside the RIVA robot (ARxIUM, Winnipeg, Ca...

Advanced technologies and mathematical metacognition: The present and future orientation.

Bio Systems
The intersection of mathematical cognition, metacognition, and advanced technologies presents a frontier with profound implications for human learning and artificial intelligence. This paper traces the historical roots of these concepts from the Pyth...

Should Doctor Robot possess moral empathy?

Bioethics
Critics of clinical artificial intelligence (AI) suggest that the technology is ethically harmful because it may lead to the dehumanization of the doctor-patient relationship (DPR) by eliminating moral empathy, which is viewed as a distinctively huma...

Influence of a robotic companion on women's food choices: Evidence from an imaginary task.

Applied psychology. Health and well-being
Previous research has demonstrated the influence of commensal dining between humans on food choices, whereas we conducted two studies to examine how the presence of a robot might influence people's choices between meat-heavy and vegetable-forward mea...

Improving the Social Well-Being of Single Older Adults Using the LOVOT Social Robot: Qualitative Phenomenological Study.

JMIR human factors
BACKGROUND: This study examined the social well-being of single older adults through the companionship of a social robot, LOVOT (Love+Robot; Groove X). It is designed as a companion for older adults, providing love and affection through verbal and ph...

A new hybrid learning control system for robots based on spiking neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
This paper presents a new hybrid learning and control method that can tune their parameters based on reinforcement learning. In the new proposed method, nonlinear controllers are considered multi-input multi-output functions and then the functions ar...

Effect of a Group-Based Personal Assistive RObot (PARO) Robot Intervention on Cognitive Function, Autonomic Nervous System Function, and Mental Well-being in Older Adults with Mild Dementia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: Personal Assistive RObot (PARO) interventions have been used to treat agitation and mood symptoms of dementia effectively. However, the effects of a PARO intervention on physiological and cognitive function are unclear. To examine the eff...

Robotic assessment of bilateral and unilateral upper limb functions in adults with cerebral palsy.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit motor impairments predominantly on one side of the body, while also having ipsilesional and bilateral impairments. These impairments are known to persist through adulthood, but their ex...
