Enhancing vocational training in corrections: A type 1 hybrid randomized controlled trial protocol for evaluating virtual reality job interview training among returning citizens preparing for community re-entry

The Michigan Department of Corrections operates the Vocational Villages, which are skilled trades training programs set within prisons that include an immersive educational community using virtual reality, robotics, and other technologies t...

A Deep Learning Harmonization of Multi-Vendor MRI for Robust Intervertebral Disc Segmentation

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides enhanced soft tissue contrast and high spatial resolution. However, the relationship between intensity values among soft tissues in MRI is inconsistent, even when obtained under the same conditions ...

Embedded Sensor Data Fusion and TinyML for Real-Time Remaining Useful Life Estimation of UAV Li Polymer Batteries

The accurate real-time estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries is a critical enabler for ensuring the safety, reliability, and operational efficiency of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Nevertheless...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...

Novel Blended Learning on Artificial Intelligence for Medical Students: Qualitative Interview Study

Abstract BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly relevant in everyday clinical practice, with Food and Drug Administration–approved AI solutions now available in many specialties. This developmen...

Theoretical framework of the neuro and psychomotor therapist for developmental age: an Italian perspective for paediatric rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disabilities

PurposeThe rehabilitation of neurodevelopmental disabilities is a complex process aimed at enhancing children’s functional abilities, minimizing the impact of disabilities on family dynamics, and promoting autonomy in daily life. Although s...

Bearing Fault Analysis of BLDC Motor for Electric Scooter Application

In this paper, the bearing faults analysis of the brushless DC motor is presented. The research method is based on the analysis of the vibration signal of healthy as well as faulty bearings by the identification of specific frequencies on t...

Dentists’ perception and use of AI and robotics in the care of persons with disabilities

Abstract Despite the growing role of AI and robotics in healthcare, little is known about their integration into dental care for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to assess dentists’ perceptions and attitude...

The advisor robot

Humanoid robots offer many physical design choices such as voice frequency and head dimensions. We used hierarchical statistical mediation analysis to trace differences in people's mental model of robots from these choices. In an experiment...

Effects of gait support in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration by a wearable robot based on synchronization control

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) mainly manifests a cerebellar ataxic gait, leading to marked postural sway and the risk of falling down. Gait support using a wearable robot is expected to be an effective solution to m...

Promoting inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics: Addressing challenges for pediatric access

Pediatric access to exoskeletons lags far behind that of adults. In this article, we promote inclusiveness in exoskeleton robotics by identifying and addressing challenges and barriers to pediatric access to this potentially life-changing t...

A history of robots: from science fiction to surgical robotics

Robots and Robotics in Nursing

Technological advancements have led to the use of robots as prospective partners to complement understaffing and deliver effective care to patients. This article discusses relevant concepts on robots from the perspective of nursing theories...

Anthropomorphic Interactions with a Robot and Robot–like Agent

People's physical embodiment and presence increase their salience and importance. We predicted people would anthropomorphize an embodied humanoid robot more than a robot–like agent, and a collocated more than a remote robot. A robot or robo...

Innovations in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: a review of clinical evidence and patient-reported outcomes for ExoTMS

IntroductionTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of multiple psychiatric and neurological disorders. ExoTMS represents an evolution in TMS system des...
