Machine Versus Man: Can Robotic Mops Clean to Lead Safety Standards?

Journal of environmental health
This study compared the effectiveness of using a commercially available robotic mop versus hand mopping as the second step of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s recommended three-step vacuum–mop–vacuum process to remove lead dust ...

Association of Individual Characteristics with Teleoperation Performance.

Aerospace medicine and human performance
BACKGROUND: A number of space activities (e.g., extravehicular astronaut rescue, cooperation in satellite services, space station supplies, and assembly) are implemented directly or assisted by remote robotic arms. Our study aimed to reveal those ind...

Prophylactic Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for Preoperative Suspicion of Prostate Cancer: Experience with 55 Cases.

Anticancer research
BACKGROUND/AIM: Expanded indications are not yet reported for robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed by experienced surgeons for patients with preoperative suspicion of prostate cancer. We report our experience with 55 c...

Technical Note: Unified imaging and robotic couch quality assurance.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To introduce a simplified quality assurance (QA) procedure that integrates tests for the linac's imaging components and the robotic couch. Current QA procedures for evaluating the alignment of the imaging system and linac require careful pos...

Design and validation of an MR-conditional robot for transcranial focused ultrasound surgery in infants.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Current treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) involves cerebral shunt placement or an invasive brain surgery. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) applied to the brains of pediatric patients presents an opportunity ...
