This paper presents a novel bistable gripper inspired by the closure motion found in the jaw of a hummingbird. With a bistable characteristic, the robotic gripper can grasp objects rapidly without applying continuous external force. The bistable gripper comprises a linkage-driven mechanism and two bionic jaws consisting of thin elastic polyvinyl chloride sheets with two clamped ends connected by a...
Creating effective teamwork between humans and robots involves not only addressing their performance as a team but also sustaining the quality and sense of unity among teammates, also known as cohesion. This paper explores the research problem of: how can we endow robotic teammates with social capabilities to improve the cohesive alliance with humans? By defining the concept of a human-robot cohes...
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has traditionally been performed as an inpatient procedure; however, recent studies have suggested the feas...
Finite element methods (FEM) are popular approaches for simulation of soft tissues with elastic or viscoelastic behavior. However, their usage in real...
The aim of this study is to report our experience in minimally invasive management of rectovesical fistulae (RVFs). Between 2004 and 2021, 24 patien...
PURPOSE: The utilization rate of robotic surgery for bariatric procedures is not well-described. Our study identified the proportion of metabolic and ...
The robotic platform can overcome technical difficulties associated with laparoscopic colon surgery. Transitioning from laparoscopic right colectomy w...
PURPOSE: Aim of the present study is to describe our robot-assisted simple prostatectomy technique and to report 6-month surgical and clinical outcome...

Duplex kidney and ureter is a congenital malformation. Few patients present with hydronephrosis caused by obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction of...
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, whose standard treatment includes pre-operative chemotherapy followed by resection. Chemotherapy ...
BACKGROUND: Complete intracorporal robotic ileal ureteric replacement is challenging. We aimed to present the surgical technique of robotic ileal uret...
A 50-year-old man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer was scheduled for a robotic radical cystectomy. Four hours into the surgery, his electrocardiogr...
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) electrode placement is increasingly common at specialized epilepsy centers. Hi...
Knowledge-based synergistic automation is a potential intermediate option between the opposite extremes of manual and fully automated robotic labor in...
The prediction of an occult invasive component in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) before surgery is of clinical importance because the treatment strat...
We report the use of robot-assisted right thoracotomy in the management of a patient who presented with acute-on-chronic congestive heart failure, ass...
Delayed surgical reconstruction of iatrogenic ureteral injuries is often a challenging procedure because spreading scar tissue impedes accurate identi...
The new da Vinci® single-port (SP) robotic system, which utilizes a smaller incision and work space compared to the previous versions, is suitable for...
PURPOSE: Volumetric assessments, such as extent of resection (EOR) or residual tumor volume, are essential criterions in glioma resection surgery. Our...
