RABiT-II: Implementation of a High-Throughput Micronucleus Biodosimetry Assay on Commercial Biotech Robotic Systems.

Radiation research
We demonstrate the use of high-throughput biodosimetry platforms based on commercial high-throughput/high-content screening robotic systems. The cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay, using only 20 μl whole blood from a fingerstick, was impleme...

Design and evaluation of a variable stiffness manual operating platform for laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS).

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Most of the existing robotic platforms for LESS have workspace and load capacity weaknesses, because of the limitation of one single incision. We have developed a LESS manual operating platform of which the stiffness of the insertion tube...

Experimental evaluation of magnified haptic feedback for robot-assisted needle insertion and palpation.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Haptic feedback has been proven to play a key role in enhancing the performance of teleoperated medical procedures. However, due to safety issues, commercially-available medical robots do not currently provide the clinician with haptic fe...

The Design, Prototyping, and Formative Evaluation of an Assistive Robotic Table (ART) for Stroke Patients.

HERD
OBJECTIVE: This article presents the results of an exploratory study in which 14 healthcare subject matter experts (H-SMEs) in addition to four research and design subject matter experts (RD-SMEs) at a regional rehabilitation hospital engaged in a se...

MRI guided focused ultrasound robotic system for animal experiments.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In this paper an MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) robotic system was developed that can be used for conducting experiments in small animals.The target for this robotic system regarding motion was to move a therapeutic ultrasound tra...

Physiological motion modeling for organ-mounted robots.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Organ-mounted robots passively compensate heartbeat and respiratory motion. In model-guided procedures, this motion can be a significant source of information that can be used to aid in localization or to add dynamic information to static...

Scaling effects in spiral capsule robots.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Spiral capsule robots can be applied to human gastrointestinal tracts and blood vessels. Because of significant variations in the sizes of the inner diameters of the intestines as well as blood vessels, this research has been unable to meet the requi...

Weight compensation characteristics of Armeo®Spring exoskeleton: implications for clinical practice and research.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Armeo®Spring exoskeleton is widely used for upper extremity rehabilitation; however, weight compensation provided by the device appears insufficiently characterized to fully utilize it in clinical and research settings.

Efficacy of Short-Term Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation in Patients With Hand Paralysis After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Hand (New York, N.Y.)
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the effectiveness of robot-assisted motion and activity in additional to physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) on stroke patients with hand paralysis.

Robotic milking: Feeding strategies and economic returns.

Journal of dairy science
Cows in herds equipped with conventional milking parlors follow a structured, consistent, and social milking and feeding routine. Furthermore, in most cases cows in conventional herds receive all their nutrients from a total mixed ration, whereas in ...
