The use of humanoid robot technologies within global healthcare settings is rapidly evolving; however, the potential of robots in health promotion and health education is not established. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of a social humanoid robot on individuals’ knowledge of influenza (flu) prevention and attitudes towards influenza vaccination. A multi-methods approach involving pre and post-test questions and interviews was used. The study was undertaken in a publicly funded tertiary level hospital in northern Queensland, Australia. Of the 995 participants, the majority were visitors (53.07%). The mean age of the participants was 42.25 (SD=19.54) years. Based on the three knowledge questions that were posed at the two-point interactions of participants with the humanoid robot ‘Pepper’, the results showed that there was a significant difference in the correct responses pre- and post-test regarding the best way to avoid getting the flu (Exact McNemar significance probability <.0001), how long the flu virus can live outside the human body ( p <.0001) and the length of time for handwashing to be effective against spreading germs ( p <.0001). The results also showed that there was a significant difference in attitudes associated with influenza vaccination when pre-test was compared to post-test ( p=.0019). Interaction of the participants with the humanoid robot demonstrated immediate knowledge gains and attitudinal change that suggests that humanoid robots may be an important intervention for health promotion in prevention of influenza and other respiratory viruses.

“…

Over the 21st century, the inclusion of robotics in the medical field has increased drastically, with far-reaching impact and many novel uses, including fully humanoid robots for homecare (Azeta et al, 2017) and in surgeries (Beasley, 2012). Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), in which a surgeon uses tiny incisions or natural orifices in place of large openings to perform surgery, has particularly benefited from the use of robotics recently due to the precision and control they offer.

Introduction: Compliant mechanisms, especially continuum robots, are becoming integral to advancements in minimally invasive surgery due to their ability to autonomously navigate natural pathways, significantly reducing collision severity. A major challenge lies in developing an effective control strategy to accurately reflect their behavior for enhanced operational precision.Methods: This study examines the trajectory tracking capabilities of a tendon-driven continuum robot at its tip. We introduce a novel feedforward control methodology that leverages a mathematical model based on Cosserat rod theory. To mitigate the computational challenges inherent in such models, we implement an implicit time discretization strategy. This approach simplifies the governing equations into space-domain ordinary differential equations, facilitating real-time computational efficiency. The control strategy is devised to enable the robot tip to follow a dynamically prescribed trajectory in two dimensions.Results: The efficacy of the proposed control method was validated through experimental tests on six different demand trajectories, with a motion capture system employed to assess positional accuracy. The findings indicate that the robot can track trajectories with an accuracy within 9.5%, showcasing consistent repeatability across different runs.Discussion: The results from this study mark a significant step towards establishing an efficient and precise control methodology for compliant continuum robots. The demonstrated accuracy and repeatability of the control approach significantly enhance the potential of these robots in minimally invasive surgical applications, paving the way for further research and development in this field.
