Rehabilitation robotics is a field of research dedicated to understanding and augmenting rehabilitation through the application of robotic devices. Rehabilitation robotics includes development of robotic devices tailored for assisting different sensorimotor functions [1] (e.g. arm, hand, [2] [3] leg, ankle [4]), development of different schemes of assisting therapeutic training, [5] and ...
The robots, referred to as SPRING (Socially Assistive Robots in Gerontological Healthcare), are designed to provide comfort to elderly patients and alleviate their anxiety, while reducing the ...
NeuroArm includes two remote detachable manipulators on a mobile base, a workstation and a system control cabinet. For biopsy-stereotaxy, either the left or right arm is transferred to a stereotactic platform that attaches to the MR bore. The procedure is performed with image-guidance, as MR images are acquired in near real-time.
The term “soft robots” designs a broad class of robotic systems whose architecture includes soft elements, with much higher elasticity than traditional rigid robots. Articulated Soft Robots are robots with both soft and rigid parts, inspired to the muscloloskeletal system of vertebrate animals – from reptiles to birds to mammalians to humans.
Nationwide has partnered with robotics company Labrador Systems to test a new generation of robots meant to help people remain at home. Nationwide teams up in testing home-assistance robots to ...
ST Robotics has 5 robot models R12 - 5 or 6 axis low cost robot arm, 500g payload speeds up to 180 deg/s R15 - 3 or 4 axis Cartesian robot system using Igus Cartesian robot system with an ST Robotics controller R17 - 5 or 6 axis robot arm, 3 kg payload R17HS - as R17 but using Teknic servomotors, 2 kg payload, speeds up to 180 deg/sec
The goal of telehealth is to complement the traditional healthcare setting. There is an increased demand on the healthcare system from a growing elderly population and shortage of healthcare providers. [4] Many elderly and disabled patients are faced with limited access to health care and providers.
Paro is a pet-type robot system developed by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The robot, which looked like a small harp seal, was designed as a therapeutic tool for use in hospitals and nursing homes. [8] [9] The robot is programmed to cry for attention and respond to its name. [8]
