Retroperitoneal vs. transperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy: a multicenter propensity-score matching analysis (PADORA Study - UroCCR n° 68).

Minerva urology and nephrology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy can be performed through either a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. This study aimed to compare the rate of trifecta achievement between retroperitoneal (RRPN) and transperitoneal (TRPN) robot...

Uniportal Robotic Lung Resection Techniques.

Thoracic surgery clinics
Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgical (U-VATS) and telerobotic techniques have become widely adopted strategies for lung resection and represent a natural progression born of advancing technologic innovation and decades of expanding clinical exp...

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate Robot-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Patients with Extremely Large Prostates ≥200 cc: A Comparative Analysis.

Journal of endourology
Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) are both well-established, minimally invasive surgical treatment options for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic enlargement. We hav...

Understanding Social Robots: Attribution of Intentional Agency to Artificial and Biological Bodies.

Artificial life
Much research in robotic artificial intelligence (AI) and Artificial Life has focused on autonomous agents as an embodied and situated approach to AI. Such systems are commonly viewed as overcoming many of the philosophical problems associated with t...

Perspectives on Computation in Plants.

Artificial life
Plants thrive in virtually all natural and human-adapted environments and are becoming popular models for developing robotics systems because of their strategies of morphological and behavioral adaptation. Such adaptation and high plasticity offer ne...

Image-guided prostate biopsy robots: A review.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
At present, the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) in men is increasing year by year. So, the early diagnosis of PCa is of great significance. Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsy is a common method for diagnosing PCa. The biopsy process ...

Combination design of drive mechanism considering delay of surgical robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Surgical robots have contributed greatly to the development of minimally invasive surgery. However, these robots suffer from issues such as the looseness of wires acting as the robot's drive mechanism, and high maintenance cost. The objective of this...

Error-related Potentials in a Virtual Pick-and-Place Experiment: Toward Real-world Shared-control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In Human-Robot Collaboration setting a robot may be controlled by a user directly or through a Brain-Computer Interface that detects user intention, and it may act as an autonomous agent. As such interaction increases in complexity, conflicts become ...

A Completely Portable and Concealable, Lightweight Assistive Exosuit for Upper Limbs.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Exosuits are a relatively new trend in wearable robotics to answer the flaws of their exoskeleton counterparts, but they remain impractical as the lack of rigidity in their frames makes the integration of crucial components into a single unit a chall...
