Patient satisfaction analysis of robot-assisted minimally invasive adrenalectomy: a single-center retrospective study.

Journal of robotic surgery
The objective of this study is to compare the satisfaction of patients undergoing robot-assisted retroperitoneal laparoscopy adrenalectomy under the ambulatory mode and conventional mode. Basic information and clinical data of patients who underwent ...

Experimental study and geometrical method to design bio-inspired robotic kinematic chains of inching-locomotion caterpillars.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) show impressive environmental adaptation, having high dexterity and flexibility. To design robots that mimic these abilities, a novel bioinspired robotic design (BIROD) method is presented. The method is compose...

A Generative Model to Embed Human Expressivity into Robot Motions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a model for generating expressive robot motions based on human expressive movements. The proposed data-driven approach combines variational autoencoders and a generative adversarial network framework to extract the essential featu...

From biomimicry to robotic co-creation: rethinking the boundaries between nature and technology.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper is an invitation to an interdisciplinary dialogue on new possibilities for integrating robotics, design, and nature. I ask: how can new cross-movements between bio-inspired science and design be fostered? How might we envision the future p...

Effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy and pet-robot interventions in reducing depressive symptoms among older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Complementary therapies in medicine
BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews suggest that animal-assisted therapy (AAT) and pet-robot interventions (PRI) achieve a reduction in mental health variables such as depressive symptoms. However, these systematic reviews include both randomised and non-...

Trajectory Deformation-Based Multi-Modal Adaptive Compliance Control for a Wearable Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Adaptive compliance control is critical for rehabilitation robots to cope with the varying rehabilitation needs and enhance training safety. This article presents a trajectory deformation-based multi-modal adaptive compliance control strategy (TD-MAC...

Self-Balancing Exoskeleton Robots Designed to Facilitate Multiple Rehabilitation Training Movements.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This study presents the biomimetic design of the structure and controller of AutoLEE-II, a self-balancing exoskeleton developed to assist patients in performing multiple rehabilitation movements without crutches or other supporting equipment. Its str...

Rehabilitation Evaluation of Upper Limb Motor Function for Stroke Patients Based on Belief Rule Base.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In the process of rehabilitation treatment for stroke patients, rehabilitation evaluation is a significant part in rehabilitation medicine. Researchers intellectualized the evaluation of rehabilitation evaluation methods and proposed quantitative eva...

Transoral robotic vertical partial laryngectomy (hemilaryngectomy) extended to the hypopharynx.

Head & neck
Locally advanced laryngeal cancers treatment often involves total laryngectomy, which some patients are unwilling to undergo, even if this choice reduces their survival probability. Therefore, the objective of laryngeal oncologic surgery is not only ...

DNA Robots for CRISPR/Cas12a Activity Management and Universal Platforms for Biosensing.

Analytical chemistry
The CRISPR/Cas12a system is a revolutionary genome editing technique that is widely employed in biosensing and molecular diagnostics. However, there are few reports on precisely managing the -cleavage activity of Cas12a by simple modification since t...
