Despite successful clinical applications, teleoperated robotic surgical systems face particular limitations in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in terms of incompatible instrument dimensions and robot set-up. The endoscope remains manua...
Haptic feedback for flexible endoscopic surgical robots is challenging due to space constraints for sensors and shape-dependent force hysteresis of tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs). This paper proposes (1) a single-axis fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based...
BACKGROUND: Visual inspection, lesion detection, and differentiation between malignant and benign features are key aspects of an endoscopist's role. The use of machine learning for the recognition and differentiation of images has been increasingly a...
BACKGROUND: We sought to identify the independent predictors of blood transfusion requirement in robotic beating-heart patients with totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB).
BACKGROUND: Ear and mastoid disease can easily be treated by early detection and appropriate medical care. However, short of specialists and relatively low diagnostic accuracy calls for a new way of diagnostic strategy, in which deep learning may pla...

BACKGROUND: Soft materials, with their compliant properties, enable conformity and safe interaction with human body. With the advance in actuation and sensing of soft materials, new paradigm in robotics called "soft robotics" emerges. Soft robotics h...
Artificial neural networks, as a specific approach towards artificial intelligence (AI), can open up a variety of new perspectives for endoscopy, such as automated lesion detection and the precise prediction of a lesion's histology by its endoscopic ...
