TL;DR: The use of the coordination and lock mechanisms by these robots has realized transport of objects approximately 1 m high and weighing approximately 35 kg and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed system in a real-world environment where robot mechanism errors, mobility errors, and observation errors occur.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the correlations between the amount of face-to-face contact time and quantified mental health and found that people who experience large amounts of social interaction tend to have less stress.

TL;DR: The results revealed that the robot patient could successfully simulate the actions of a patient’s limbs according to the nursing teachers’ operations and that it is suitable for nursing skill training.

TL;DR: The construction and evaluation of a self-help skill training system for assisting student nurses in learning skills involving the transfer of patients from beds to wheelchairs and demonstrated that the experimental group showed greater improvement in performing patient transfer than the control group.

TL;DR: A robot patient is developed that could simulate the behavior of patients’ limbs for patient-transfer training and is more challenging than the current method, which employs a healthy person to simulate the patient.
