Wearable Soft Robotic Device Supports the Failing Heart in vivo
Soft robots fabricated from low modulus, compliant materials hold significant potential for medical device applications that warrant safe, synergistic interaction with humans. We have recently applied this technology to develop ventricular assistive devices (VADs) that can externally massage the failing heart [1][2]. In heart failure (HF), the heart cannot provide sufficient pumping support to ...
متن کاملDesign of a Soft Robotic Elbow Sleeve with Passive and Intent-Controlled Actuation
The provision of continuous passive, and intent-based assisted movements for neuromuscular training can be incorporated into a robotic elbow sleeve. The objective of this study is to propose the design and test the functionality of a soft robotic elbow sleeve in assisting flexion and extension of the elbow, both passively and using intent-based motion reinforcement. First, the elbow sleeve was ...
متن کاملRobotic sleeve resection for pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND Few studies have described robotic sleeve resection with pulmonary resection. Here, we report the successful implementation of a completely portal robotic sleeve resection with or without pulmonary resection using a modified suture mode. METHODS In total, 339 patients underwent curative robotic pulmonary surgery at Ruijin Hospital between May 2015 and September 2017. Three of these...

متن کاملDouble-Acting Sleeve Muscle Actuator for Bio-Robotic Systems.
This paper presents a new type of muscle-like actuator, namely double-acting (DA) sleeve muscle actuator, which is suitable for the actuation of biologically-inspired and biomedical robotic systems, especially those serving human-assistance purposes (prostheses, orthoses, etc.). Developed based on the traditional pneumatic muscle actuator, the new DA sleeve muscle incorporates a unique insert a...
