Background Over the past few years, a growing number of studies have explored massage
robots. However, to date, a dedicated systematic review focused solely on robot-assisted …

Industrial delta robots with motion-and vision-base controllers, providing high-precision and
fast/flexible motion, normally come with high cost and complex software. Low-cost delta …

Mechanism is a device to transmit and convert motion, force, and energy. However, for a
long time, the structural synthesis methodology using the instantaneity and continuity based …

This paper is concerned with the problem of collision-free path planning for manipulators in
multi-obstacle scenarios. Aiming at overcoming the deficiencies of existing algorithms in …

Negative pressure (NP) therapy with bandage compression is the primary conservative
treatment for upper and lower limb lymphedema with great efficacy. With the growing …

Magnetic actuated endoscopic robots (MAER) are more and more favored in minimally
invasive surgery (MIS) because they can get rid of the shackles of the mechanical …

To modernize traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and improve the efficiency of Tuina
therapy in the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis. This study aimed to solve the problem of …

Purpose This study aims to propose a force control algorithm based on neural networks,
which enables a robot to follow a changing reference force trajectory when in contact with …

This study presents a systematic enumeration of spherical ($ SO (3) $) type parallel robots'
variants using an analytical velocity-level approach. These robots are known for their ability …

Under-actuated robot grippers as a pervasive tool of robots have become a considerable
research focus. Despite their simplicity of mechanical design and control strategy, they suffer …
