Enhancement of aerodynamic performance of a bristled wing by elliptic cylinders.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Enhancing the aerodynamic performance of bristled wings is an important topic for small flying robotics. This paper numerically investigates this situation at very low Reynolds numbers by using elliptic cylinders as the bristles instead of circular c...

Exploring the eating experience of a pneumatically-driven edible robot: Perception, taste, and texture.

PloS one
This study investigated the effects of animated food consumption on human psychology. We developed a movable, edible robot and evaluated the participants' impressions induced by the visualization of its movements and eating of the robot. Although sev...

Pedicle screw placement accuracy in robot-assisted versus image-guided freehand surgery of thoraco-lumbar spine (ROBARTHRODESE): study protocol for a single-centre randomized controlled trial.

Trials
BACKGROUND: Robotic spinal surgery may result in better pedicle screw placement accuracy, and reduction in radiation exposure and length of stay, compared to freehand surgery. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare screw ...

The downtrending cost of robotic bariatric surgery: a cost analysis of 47,788 bariatric patients.

Journal of robotic surgery
The surgical robot is assumed to be a fixed, indirect cost. We hypothesized rising volume of robotic bariatric procedures would decrease cost per patient over time. Patients who underwent elective, initial gastric bypass (GB) or sleeve gastrectomy (S...

Intelligent robotics harvesting system process for fruits grasping prediction.

Scientific reports
This paper proposes and executes an in-depth learning-based image processing approach for self-picking apples. The system includes a lightweight one-step detection network for fruit recognition. As well as computer vision to analyze the point class a...

A multimodal virtual vision platform as a next-generation vision system for a surgical robot.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Robot-assisted surgery platforms are utilized globally thanks to their stereoscopic vision systems and enhanced functional assistance. However, the necessity of ergonomic improvement for their use by surgeons has been increased. In surgical robots, i...

Patient-reported outcomes of mesh in minimally invasive (laparoscopic/robot-assisted) immediate subpectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction: a retrospective study.

Breast cancer (Tokyo, Japan)
BACKGROUND: Although there is increasing interest in minimally invasive prosthesis breast reconstruction (PBR), whether meshes application in minimally invasive PBR can improve complications and cosmetic effects remains controversial. The author retr...

RoboCoV Cleaner: An Indoor Autonomous UV-C Disinfection Robot with Advanced Dual-Safety Systems.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the face of today's ever-evolving global health landscape and ambient assisted living (AAL), marked by the persistent emergence of novel viruses and diseases that impact vulnerable categories and individual safety, the need for innovative disinfec...
