Robotic Surgery

In Brief Objective: To review the history, development, and current applications of robotics in surgery. Background: Surgical robotics is a new technology that holds significant promise. Robotic surgery is often heralded as the new revoluti...

Evolutionary Robotics

Evolutionary robotics is a new technique for the automatic creation of autonomous robots. Inspired by the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest, it views robots as autonomous artificial organisms that develop their ow...

Soft Robotics

This description of "soft robotics" is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe soft robotics as a new field-one that offers oppo...

Socially intelligent robots: dimensions of human–robot interaction

Social intelligence in robots has a quite recent history in artificial intelligence and robotics. However, it has become increasingly apparent that social and interactive skills are necessary requirements in many application areas and conte...

Granny and the robots: ethical issues in robot care for the elderly

Agricultural Robotics: The Future of Robotic Agriculture

Title: Agricultural Robotics: The Future of Robotic Agriculture Year: 2018 Citation: (2018). Agricultural Robotics. EPSRC UK-RAS Network. doi: 10.31256/WP2018.2. ISSN: 2398-4422 (Online), ISSN 2398-4414 (Print) Download PDF...

Robot ethics: the ethical and social implications of robotics

Robots today serve in many roles, from entertainer to educator to executioner. As robotics technology advances, ethical concerns become more pressing: Should robots be programmed to follow a code of ethics, if this is even possible? Are the...

Robot Motion: Planning and Control

From the Publisher: The present surge of interest in robotics can be expected to continue through the 1980s. Major research efforts are springing up throughout industry and in the universities. Senior and graduate level courses are being d...

Robots at Work

We analyze for the first time the economic contributions of modern industrial robots, which are flexible, versatile, and autonomous machines. We use novel panel data on robot adoption within industries in seventeen countries from 1993 to 20...

Particle filters in robotics

In recent years, particle filters have solved several hard perceptual problems in robotics. Early successes of particle filters were limited to low-dimensional estimation problems, such as the problem of robot localization in environments w...

An inexact multiple-recourse hybrid-fuel management model with considering carbon reduction requirement for a biofuel-penetrated heating system

In China’s goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, the blending-biofuel-based heating technique is being used to reduce CO2 and air-pollutant emissions in existing district heating systems in northern China. This brings a series of new ...

Piton: Investigating the Controllability of a Wearable Telexistence Robot

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted collaborative activities, travel, and physical contact, increasing the demand for real-time interactions with remote environments. However, the existing remote communication solutions provide limited interacti...

Application of Improved BQGA in Robot Kinematics Inverse Solution

In view of the problem that Bloch Quantum Genetic Algorithm (BQGA) is easy to fall into local optimum, an improved BQGA is proposed. The algorithm can control the step size and the mutation probability in real time in the iterative process,...

A Novel Passive Implantable Differential Mechanism to Restore Individuated Finger Flexion during Grasping following Tendon Transfer Surgery: A Pilot Study

Tendon transfer surgery is often used to restore hand grasp function following high median-ulnar nerve palsy. This surgery typically reroutes and sutures the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscle to all four flexor digi...

4D printing of semi-crystalline crosslinked polymer networks with two-way shape-memory effect

This paper introduces a novel approach to 4D printing tailored structures with reversible two-way shape-memory effect (SME) through material extrusion technology. To this aim, methacrylated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was synthesized and eva...

Monolithic UV‐Laser Programming of Photothermally Meta‐Morphing SMA Structures: Dual‐Encoded Kirigami Mechanics and Photonic Absorbance

ABSTRACT Photothermal shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a promising pathway toward wireless soft robotic systems, yet their practical implementation remains limited by reliance on heterogeneous coatings and multistep processing to achieve su...

Robot-Assisted Augmented Reality (AR)-Guided Surgical Navigation for Periacetabular Osteotomy

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an effective approach for the surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, due to the complex anatomical structure around the hip joint and the limited field of view (FoV) during...
