With introduction of the da Vinci single-port (SP) system, we evaluated which multiport (MP) robotic skills are naturally transferable to the SP platform. Three groups of urologists: Group 1 (5 inexperienced in MP and SP), Group 2 (5 experienced in...
Learning from visual observation for efficient robotic manipulation is a hitherto significant challenge in Reinforcement Learning (RL). Although the collocation of RL policies and convolution neural network (CNN) visual encoder achieves high efficien...
With advances in robotic technology, the complexity of control of robot has been increasing owing to fundamental signal bottlenecks and limited expressible logic state of the von Neumann architecture. Here, we demonstrate coordinated movement by a fu...
Previous studies have shown that the robotic approach has better perioperative outcomes but longer operative time than the laparoscopic approach for patients undergoing low anterior resection. However, the impact of the learning curve on operative t...
This paper describes the main results of the JUNO project, a proof of concept developed in the Region of Murcia in Spain, where a smart assistant robot with capabilities for smart navigation and natural human interaction has been developed and deploy...

BACKGROUND: Although various endoscopic surgery robots developed in previous studies are versatile and have high lesion accessibility, they have limitations in terms of reaching the target lesion through the curved path in the large intestine and pro...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the most recent surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of RPN utilizing one of the largest, prospectively maintained, multi-institution consortium of patients undergoing robotic renal surgery.

PURPOSE: Continuum robots (CRs) have been developed for maxillary sinus surgery (MSS) in recent years. However, due to the anatomically curved and narrow pathway of the maxillary sinus and the deformable characteristics of the CR, it is still a chall...
Robotic surgical systems are now an inherent part of the German hospital landscape. In recent years, there has been an enormous increase in installed systems and operations performed, especially in abdominal surgery. Even though there is a lack of st...
