The Application of Robotics in Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
: Robotics is commonly used in the rehabilitation of neuro-musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. While in these conditions, robotics has clear benefits, it is unknown whether robotics will also enhance the outcome of cardiac rehabilitation. This sys...

Experimental development of lightweight manipulators with improved design cycle time that leverages off-the-shelf robotic arm components.

PloS one
The growing market for lightweight robots inspires new use-cases, such as collaborative manipulators for human-centered automation. However, widespread adoption faces obstacles due to high R&D costs and longer design cycles, although rapid advances i...

Neurological insights into brain-targeted cancer therapy and bioinspired microrobots.

Drug discovery today
Cancer, a multifaceted and pernicious disease, continuously challenges medicine, requiring innovative treatments. Brain cancers pose unique and daunting challenges due to the intricacies of the central nervous system and the blood-brain barrier. In t...

Sensor-Enhanced Smart Gripper Development for Automated Meat Processing.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Grasping and object manipulation have been considered key domains of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) since the beginning of automation, as they are the most common interactions between systems, or a system and its environment. As the demand for automati...

Bionic e-skin with precise multi-directional droplet sliding sensing for enhanced robotic perception.

Nature communications
Electronic skins with deep and comprehensive liquid information detection are desired to endow intelligent robotic devices with augmented perception and autonomous regulation in common droplet environments. At present, one technical limitation of ele...

Direct Comparisons of Upper-Limb Motor Learning Performance Among Three Types of Haptic Guidance With Non-Assisted Condition in Spiral Drawing Task.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In robot-assisted rehabilitation, it is unclear which type of haptic guidance is effective for regaining motor function because of the lack of direct comparisons among multiple types of haptic guidance. The objective of this study was to investigate ...

Therapists' perspective on acceptance of robot-assisted physical rehabilitation in a middle-income country: a study from Vietnam.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Robot-assisted physical rehabilitation offers promising benefits for patients, yet its adoption among therapists remains a complex challenge. This study investigates the acceptance of robot-assisted physical rehabilitation technology among therapists...

Robot-related injuries in the workplace: An analysis of OSHA Severe Injury Reports.

Applied ergonomics
Industrial robots are increasingly commonplace, but research on prototypical accidents and injuries has been sparse, hindering evidence-based safety strategies. Using Severe Injury Reports (SIRs) from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administr...

Intelligent Rock-Climbing Robot Capable of Multimodal Locomotion and Hybrid Bioinspired Attachment.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Rock-climbing robots have significant potential in fieldwork and planetary exploration. However, they currently face limitations such as a lack of stability and adaptability on extreme terrains, slow locomotion, and single functionality. This study i...

Treatment with robot-assisted gait trainer Walkbot along with physiotherapy vs. isolated physiotherapy in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. Experimental study.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Improving walking ability is a key objective in the treatment of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, since it directly affects their activity and participation. In recent years, robotic technology has been implemented in gait tr...
