This study clarifies the association between ambiguity tolerance and psychological well-being in physical therapists engaged geriatric rehabilitation.
To the paralyzed or those otherwise enable to move on their own, we have been developing ""muscle suit"" providing muscular support. Muscle suit are worn and use a McKibben actuator driven by compressed air. Because actuators sewn into garment, no metal frame is needed, making muscle very light cheap. Most medical welfare apparatuses were for caregivers rather than patients in need of nursing, causing lose own identity positive attitude. With suit, they could control movement will. helpful mental
This paper presents a floor cleaning robot equipped with Swedish wheels. It can be used in crowded places such as houses, train station, airport etc. the perform its work autonomous and teleoperated mode. Moreover pivot around without turning, avoid obstacles is provided automatic power management ability. And meanwhile, kinematics for control controlling methods are studied demonstrated. new structure, smooth locomotion capability high working efficiency verified by experimentation.
In this paper, we investigate the slip condition on a vertical wall surface and propose cm-scale hexapod robot with claws that can climb wall. Since volume force such as gravity is proportional to length cubed area muscle its cross section, i.e., squared, an object more capable of overcoming smaller it is. This scaling effect allows small fly easily, accelerate rapidly, minimal difficulty. We developed claw-type body 8.5cm weight 13.5g realized horizontal movement addition, used mathematical...
The wall climbing robot has characteristics of moving smartly and suction reliably on the wall, therefore, this paper proposes a method called critical suction, based negative thrust force. Then mechanics, robot's mechanism performance air-sealed are analyzed, is discussed in theory. Furthermore, fluid model network dynamic system set up. According to response equation pressure cup, process simulated. Finally, effect that key parameters cup have characteristic analyzed conclusions presented.
Abstract We succeeded in the construction of a novel meniscus-climbing gel robot that autonomously converted chemical energy from Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction to mechanical work. The periodically bent synchronization with change redox state [Ru(bpy)2(vmbpy)] moiety, owing an asymmetric structure gel. climbing force originated surface tension due periodic shape maximum speed was 1.5 mm s−1.
In order to enable people who can not move move, we have been developing "muscle suit" by wearing which muscular force be supported. Muscle suit consists of wear and Mckibben type actuator driven compressed air. Because actuators are sewed in wear, it is no need use metal frame thus muscle comes very light cheap. Most medical welfare apparatus for dare giver then there few nursing care. As the result, they lost their own identity positive attitude. It possible them, suit, body such as arms...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an omni‐directional floor‐cleaning robot equipped with four wheels. research purposes are design a for cleaning jobs in domestic, narrow and crowded places provide robotics‐study platform laboratory. Design/methodology/approach system using Swedish wheels, one dust collector (brush) switching device sort air‐bag sensing designed. kinematics the motion control conditions analyzed. Specifically, method wheels described. Findings configuration...
We propose a simple hopping mechanism using the vibration of two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) system for fast stair-climbing robot. The robot, consisting two bodies connected by springs, hops releasing energy stored in springs and travels quickly wheels mounted on its lower body. trajectories during change based design parameters such as reduced mass bodies, ratio between upper spring constant, control initial contraction wire tension. This property allows robot to economically climb stairs land...
The clinical effectiveness and side effects of DL-8280 in the treatment lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonias were compared with those amoxicillin (AMPC) by a double-dummy fashion.The following diseases included this study; infectious exacerbation chronic bronchitis diffuse panbronchiolitis, (bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, pulmonary emphysema, lung fibrosis, inactive tuberculosis) various kinds bacterial pneumonias.Two hundred mg dose was orally administered 3 times per...
The objective of this study is to investigate the intelligence necessary for machine such as a human-friendly robot working in environment where human and coexist. It required construct that can communicate with test bed and/or platform. Since face facial expressions are very crucial factors communication, we develop which has human-like express similar beings. important coexistence communication humans are: 1) size compact, 2) easy control. We had previously used air cylinders pressurized...
The clinical efficacy and safety of ofloxacin (OFLX; DL-8280) cefaclor (CCL) were compared bya double-blind study using 250 patients with bacterial bronchitis. Patients orally administered witheither 200 mg OFLX or CCL three times a day for 14 days, the following results wereobtained.1) Clinical judged by committee:The rate acute bronchitis was 86.7% in group 85.7% group. On theother hand, 78.4% 50.0% those effective inchronic Statistically significant difference observed between andCCL...
This paper deals with a design and shape optimization of tool that combines punching tarpaulin the grommet pressing in one operation.The 0.5 mm thick diameter 10 is made DX51D+Z275MAC steel.The designed its main dimensions are verified by using numerical simulation an ANSYS Workbench software subsequently also practical experiment, i.e. verification debugging functionality cooperation H + D kovo company.
In this study, we manufactured small butterfly-style flapping robots with wing veins and investigated their flight characteristics for different design parameters such as swept-forward angle center of mass (COM). The robot is characterized by a total less than 1 g, the COM at its rear, tailless wing, few degrees freedom (DOF), low aspect ratio, frequency 10 Hz, wide from 90 deg to -90 deg. experimental results showed that body pitch was controlled relative positions lift (COL), model 20...

This paper deals with an evolutionary design of a robotic system and structural characteristics its morphology intelligence. Morphology affects behavior through physical interaction the environment, intelligence determining strongly depends on such as visual sensor position, touch body shape, size. We propose method that designs both concurrently using genetic programming. offers systems able to execute given task environment gravity, collision arid friction. Robotic possess high performance...
The goal of this study is to investigate the intelligence necessary for a machine such as human-friendly robot working in an environment where humans and robots coexist. It seems be required manufacture that can communicate with human beings test bed or platform. Since face facial expressions are crucial factors communication, we have been developing which has human-like express similar being. important coexistence communication are: 1. size compactness; 2. ease control.
