There is emerging but limited data assessing single-port (SP) robot-assisted surgery as an alternative to multi-port (MP) platforms. We compared perioperative outcomes between SP and MP robot-assisted approaches for excision of high and low complexit...
BACKGROUND: High body mass index was considered as a risk factor for minimally invasive surgery. The short-term outcomes of robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) remain controversial. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and advantag...
For autonomous mobile service robots, closed doors that are in their way are restricting obstacles. In order to open doors with on-board manipulation skills, a robot needs to be able to localize the door's key features, such as the hinge and handle, ...
Effective force modulation during tissue manipulation is important for ensuring safe, robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). Strict requirements for in vivo applications have led to prior sensor designs that trade off ease of manufacture ...
Robotics is increasingly seen as a useful test bed for computational models of the brain functional architecture underlying animal behavior. We provide an overview of past and current work, focusing on probabilistic and dynamical models, including ap...
Robotics and neuroscience are sister disciplines that both aim to understand how agile, efficient, and robust locomotion can be achieved in autonomous agents. Robotics has already benefitted from neuromechanical principles discovered by investigating...
BACKGROUND: The past 2 decades have seen rapid development in the use of robots for rehabilitation. Research on rehabilitation robots involves interdisciplinary activities, making it a great challenge to obtain comprehensive insights in this research...
Snakes and their bio-inspired robot counterparts have demonstrated locomotion on a wide range of terrains. However, dynamic vertical climbing is one locomotion strategy that has received little attention in the existing snake robotics literature. We ...
BACKGROUND: Tumors with a high nephrometry score represent a challenging surgical scenario for which robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is a primary option in expert hands.
To compare perioperative outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients with morbid obesity (body mass index (BMI > 40 kg/m)) and non-obese patients. Using the Vattikuti Collective quality initiative (VCQI) database for RAPN...
