Robotic Low Ligation of the Inferior Mesenteric Artery for Rectal Cancer Using the Firefly Technique.

Yonsei medical journal
PURPOSE: By integrating intraoperative near infrared fluorescence imaging into a robotic system, surgeons can identify the vascular anatomy in real-time with the technical advantages of robotics that is useful for meticulous lymphovascular dissection...

Efficacy of Feedback-Controlled Robotics-Assisted Treadmill Exercise to Improve Cardiovascular Fitness Early After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

Journal of neurologic physical therapy : JNPT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cardiovascular fitness is greatly reduced after stroke. Although individuals with mild to moderate impairments benefit from conventional cardiovascular exercise interventions, there is a lack of effective approaches for person...

Manual Electrode Array Insertion Through a Robot-Assisted Minimal Invasive Cochleostomy: Feasibility and Comparison of Two Different Electrode Array Subtypes.

Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the feasibility and the results of insertion of two types of electrode arrays in a robotically assisted surgical approach.

Robot-assisted gastrectomy for early gastric cancer: is it beneficial in viscerally obese patients compared to laparoscopic gastrectomy?

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: The adoption of robotic systems for gastric cancer surgery has been proven feasible and safe; however, a benefit over the laparoscopic approach has not yet been well-documented. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robotic ver...

Risk Factors for Postoperative Morbidity After Totally Robotic Gastric Bypass in 302 Consecutive Patients.

Obesity surgery
BACKGROUND: Totally robotic gastric bypass (robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, R-RYGBP) has been adopted in some centers on the basis of large retrospective studies. In view of some data showing higher morbidity and higher costs, some authors have con...

A three-year study of a first-generation chemotherapy-compounding robot.

American journal of health-system pharmacy : AJHP : official journal of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists
PURPOSE: Results of a performance evaluation of an automated system for compounding antineoplastic preparations are reported.

Should You Trust Your Money to a Robot?

Big data
Financial markets emanate massive amounts of data from which machines can, in principle, learn to invest with minimal initial guidance from humans. I contrast human and machine strengths and weaknesses in making investment decisions. The analysis rev...

Robot Lies in Health Care: When Is Deception Morally Permissible?

Kennedy Institute of Ethics journal
Autonomous robots are increasingly interacting with users who have limited knowledge of robotics and are likely to have an erroneous mental model of the robot's workings, capabilities, and internal structure. The robot's real capabilities may diverge...

A cable-driven wrist robotic rehabilitator using a novel torque-field controller for human motion training.

The Review of scientific instruments
Rehabilitation technologies have great potentials in assisted motion training for stroke patients. Considering that wrist motion plays an important role in arm dexterous manipulation of activities of daily living, this paper focuses on developing a c...

Commissioning of a proton gantry equipped with dual x-ray imagers and a robotic patient positioner, and evaluation of the accuracy of single-beam image registration for this system.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To check the accuracy of a gantry equipped with dual x-ray imagers and a robotic patient positioner for proton radiotherapy, and to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of single-beam registration using the robotic positioner.
