Improvement in Laser-Irradiation Efficiency of Robot-Assisted Laser Hair Removal Through Pose Measurement of Skin Surface.

Photomedicine and laser surgery
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to improve the performance of an automatic laser hair removal (LHR) system by applying an algorithm that considers the curve and slant of the skin surface.

Situated Agents and Humans in Social Interaction for Elderly Healthcare: From Coaalas to AVICENA.

Journal of medical systems
Assistive Technologies (AT) are an application area where several Artificial Intelligence techniques and tools have been successfully applied to support elderly or impeded people on their daily activities. However, approaches to AT tend to center in ...

An Analytic Model for the Success Rate of a Robotic Actuator System in Hitting Random Targets.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Autonomous robotic systems are increasingly being used in a wide range of applications such as precision agriculture, medicine, and the military. These systems have common features which often includes an action by an "actuator" interacting with a ta...

Hand Rehabilitation Learning System With an Exoskeleton Robotic Glove.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents a hand rehabilitation learning system, the SAFE Glove, a device that can be utilized to enhance the rehabilitation of subjects with disabilities. This system is able to learn fingertip motion and force for grasping different objec...

Open Issues in Evolutionary Robotics.

Evolutionary computation
One of the long-term goals in evolutionary robotics is to be able to automatically synthesize controllers for real autonomous robots based only on a task specification. While a number of studies have shown the applicability of evolutionary robotics t...

Test-retest reliability of fMRI experiments during robot-assisted active and passive stepping.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Brain activity has been shown to undergo cortical and sub-cortical functional reorganisation over the course of gait rehabilitation in patients suffering from a spinal cord injury or a stroke. These changes however, have not been complete...

First ALPPS procedure using a total robotic approach.

Surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: ALPPS procedure is gaining interest. Indications and technical aspects of this technique are still under debate [1]. Only 4 totally laparoscopic ALPPS procedures have been described in the literature and none by robotic approach [2-4]. Th...

Time-of-flight-assisted Kinect camera-based people detection for intuitive human robot cooperation in the surgical operating room.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
BACKGROUND: Scene supervision is a major tool to make medical robots safer and more intuitive. The paper shows an approach to efficiently use 3D cameras within the surgical operating room to enable for safe human robot interaction and action percepti...
