Robotic-Assisted Transabdominal Inferior Retroperitoneal Approach: an Alternative to Cattell-Braash Maneuver.

Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract
INTRODUCTION: The Cattell-Braasch maneuver has been widely used to provide adequate exposure for aorto-caval space (ACS) since the 1960s. Given its requirement of complex visceral mobilization and significant physiological disturbance, we proposed a ...

Role of Reference Frames for a Safe Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Safety plays a key role in human-robot interactions in collaborative robot (cobot) applications. This paper provides a general procedure to guarantee safe workstations allowing human operations, robot contributions, the dynamical environment, and tim...

Analytical Models for Pose Estimate Variance of Planar Fiducial Markers for Mobile Robot Localisation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Planar fiducial markers are commonly used to estimate a pose of a camera relative to the marker. This information can be combined with other sensor data to provide a global or local position estimate of the system in the environment using a state est...

Within- and between-therapist agreement on personalized parameters for robot-assisted gait therapy: the challenge of adjusting robotic assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stationary robotic gait trainers usually allow for adjustment of training parameters, including gait speed, body weight support and robotic assistance, to personalize therapy. Consequently, therapists personalize parameter settings to pur...

Pangolin-inspired untethered magnetic robot for on-demand biomedical heating applications.

Nature communications
Untethered magnetic miniature soft robots capable of accessing hard-to-reach regions can enable safe, disruptive, and minimally invasive medical procedures. However, the soft body limits the integration of non-magnetic external stimuli sources on the...

Bimanual Motor Strategies and Handedness Role in Human-Robot Haptic Interaction.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Bimanual object manipulation involves using both hands to interact with objects in the environment, and the process requires the central nervous system to process sensory feedback and translate it into motor commands. Although there have been signifi...

A Soft Hand Exoskeleton With a Novel Tendon Layout to Improve Stable Wearing in Grasping Assistance.

IEEE transactions on haptics
We present a novel soft exoskeleton providing active support for hand closing and opening. The main novelty is a different tendon routing, folded laterally on both sides of the hand, and adding clenching forces when the exoskeleton is activated. It i...

The Classification and New Trends of Shared Control Strategies in Telerobotic Systems: A Survey.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Shared control, which permits a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the control of a telerobotic system, can reduce the operator's workload and/or improve performances during the execution of tasks. Due to the great benefits of combi...

Indocyanine Green-Guided Near-Infrared Fluorescence Enhances Vascular Anatomy in Robot-Assisted DIEP Flap Harvest.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
Indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging has gained clinical acceptance lately. This technology can be particularly advantageous in the case of robotic flap harvest. This article presents a new approach to deep epigastric pedicle d...
