Using robotic mechanical perturbations for enhanced balance assessment.

Medical engineering & physics
Balance impairment is critical for many patient groups such as those with neural and musculoskeletal disorders and also the elderly. Accurate and objective assessment of balance performance has led to the development of several indices based on the m...

Toward Task Autonomy in Robotic Cardiac Ablation: Learning-Based Kinematic Control of Soft Tendon-Driven Catheters.

Soft robotics
The goal of this study was to propose and validate a control framework with level-2 autonomy (task autonomy) for the control of flexible ablation catheters. To this end, a kinematic model for the flexible portion of typical ablation catheters was dev...

Added value of 3D-vision during robotic pancreatoduodenectomy anastomoses in biotissue (LAEBOT 3D2D): a randomized controlled cross-over trial.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We tested the added value of 3D-vision on procedure time and surgical performance during robotic pancreatoduodenectomy anastomoses in biotissue. Robotic surgery has the advantage of articulating instruments and 3D-vision. Consensus is lac...

Robotic multivisceral pelvic resection: experience from an exenteration unit.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: Pelvic exenteration remains a viable and effective treatment option for the management of locally advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancy. The aim of this study was to present an early experience of robotic multivisceral resection of pelv...

Usability evaluation of attitude control for a robotic wheelchair for tip mitigation in outdoor environments.

Medical engineering & physics
Tips and falls are the most prominent causes of wheelchair accidents that occur when driving on uneven terrains and less accessible environments. The Mobility Enhancement Robotic Wheelchair (MEBot) was designed to improve the stability of Electric Po...

Feasibility and analysis of CNN-based candidate beam generation for robotic radiosurgery.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Robotic radiosurgery offers the flexibility of a robotic arm to enable high conformity to the target and a steep dose gradient. However, treatment planning becomes a computationally challenging task as the search space for potential beam dir...

Benefits of robotic cystectomy compared with open cystectomy in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program: A propensity-matched analysis.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: To compare the perioperative and oncological outcomes between robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion versus open cystectomy for bladder cancer in a contemporary Enhanced Recovery After Surgery cohort.

Single-institution Cost Comparison: Single-port Versus Multiport Robotic Prostatectomy.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: In the era of efficient value-based health care, each surgical innovation should be proven to be cost-effective for the patient and the hospital administration.
