Increasing the number of degrees of freedom for multi-finger robotic hands is necessary to achieve high performance. However, this increases structural complexity and the obtained improvement may be small. Humans change the shape of their hands by ex...
BACKGROUND: Risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in localised prostate cancer can be stratified using the 5-tier Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG) or 3-tier European Association of Urology (EAU) model. Active surveillance is the current recommendation...
Recent advances in the field of collaborative robotics aim to endow industrial robots with prediction and anticipation abilities. In many shared tasks, the robot's ability to accurately perceive and recognize the objects being manipulated by the huma...

Spatulation during ureteropelvic junction obstruction repair was evaluated in children treated by robot-assisted retroperitoneal pyeloplasty anastomosis (RRPA). Intraoperative video recordings (IVRs) of RRPA ( = 22 ureters) performed at a single in...
The surgical management of rectal cancer is shifting toward more widespread use of robotics across a spectrum of medical centers. There is evidence that the oncologic outcomes are equivalent to laparoscopic resections, and the post-operative outcomes...
It is important for older and disabled people who live alone to be able to cope with the daily challenges of living at home. In order to support independent living, the Smart Home Care (SHC) concept offers the possibility of providing comfortable con...
