OBJECTIVES: The CyberKnife system is a robotic radiosurgery platform that allows the delivery of lung SBRT treatments using fiducial-free soft-tissue tracking. However, not all lung cancer patients are eligible for lung tumor tracking. Tumor size, de...
In the context of collaborative robotics, handing over hand-held objects to a robot is a safety-critical task. Therefore, a robust distinction between human hands and presented objects in image data is essential to avoid contact with robotic grippers...
Every year biotechnology labs generate a combined total of ∼5.5 million tons of plastic waste. As the global bioeconomy expands, biofoundries will inevitably increase plastic consumption in-step with synthetic biology scaling. Decontamination and reu...
PURPOSE/ BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in order to evaluate the impact/burden of the treatment. The most bothersome side effects of RARP are urine incontinence ...
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has been broadly employed in complicated operations. However, the multiple surgical instruments may occupy a large amount of visual space in complex operations performed in narrow spaces, which affects the su...

BACKGROUND While there is a growing body of research examining opinions on social robots in elderly care, there is a lack of comprehensive studies investigating the underlying factors influencing these opinions. The Godspeed Questionnaire Series (GQS...
PURPOSE: To report perioperative, renal function and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
This manuscript introduces a mobile cobot equipped with a custom-designed high payload arm called RELAX combined with a novel unified multimodal interface that facilitates Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) tasks requiring high-level interaction forces ...
