When Should We Use Care Robots? The Nature-of-Activities Approach.

Science and engineering ethics
When should we use care robots? In this paper we endorse the shift from a simple normative approach to care robots ethics to a complex one: we think that one main task of a care robot ethics is that of analysing the different ways in which different ...

Reoperations following Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy: A Decade of Experience.

The Journal of urology
PURPOSE: There is a paucity of data regarding the operative management of complications after robot-assisted radical cystectomy. We reviewed operative management of robot-assisted radical cystectomy specific complications during our 10-year experienc...

Totally robotic repair of atrioventricular septal defect in the adult.

Journal of cardiothoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) accounts for up to 3 % of congenital cardiac defects, which is routinely repaired via median sternotomy. Minimally invasive approach such as endoscopic or robotic assisted repair for AVSD has not been...

Combining Computational and Social Effort for Collaborative Problem Solving.

PloS one
Rather than replacing human labor, there is growing evidence that networked computers create opportunities for collaborations of people and algorithms to solve problems beyond either of them. In this study, we demonstrate the conditions under which s...

Examining Differences in Patterns of Sensory and Motor Recovery After Stroke With Robotics.

Stroke
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Developing a better understanding of the trajectory and timing of stroke recovery is critical for developing patient-centered rehabilitation approaches. Here, we quantified proprioceptive and motor deficits using robotic techn...

Shoulder complex linkage mechanism for humanlike musculoskeletal robot arms.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The shoulder complex in the human body consists of the scapula, clavicle, humerus, and thorax and bears the load imposed by arm movements while at the same time realizing a wide range of motions. To mimic and exploit its role, several musculoskeletal...

Choice reaching with a LEGO arm robot (CoRLEGO): The motor system guides visual attention to movement-relevant information.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
We present an extension of a neurobiologically inspired robotics model, termed CoRLEGO (Choice reaching with a LEGO arm robot). CoRLEGO models experimental evidence from choice reaching tasks (CRT). In a CRT participants are asked to rapidly reach an...

Learning to walk with an adaptive gain proportional myoelectric controller for a robotic ankle exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle exoskeletons can provide assistance to users and reduce metabolic power during walking. Our research group has investigated the use of proportional myoelectric control for controlling robotic ankle exoskeletons. Previously, ...

A Bayesian Developmental Approach to Robotic Goal-Based Imitation Learning.

PloS one
A fundamental challenge in robotics today is building robots that can learn new skills by observing humans and imitating human actions. We propose a new Bayesian approach to robotic learning by imitation inspired by the developmental hypothesis that ...
