OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the intraoperative use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging reconstruction for a complex case of multiple myomectomy assigned to robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery.
BACKGROUND: Patients with prostate cancer are offered a wide range of treatments from radiation therapy to chemotherapy to surgery. When giving radiation therapy, SpaceOAR hydrogel has been part of the standard treatment for the last decade to reduce...
Stiffness variation can greatly enhance soft robots' load capacity and compliance. Jamming methods are widely used where stiffness variation is realized by jamming of particles, layers, or fibers. It is still challenging to make the variable stiffnes...
Tactile perception is the basis of human motion. Achieving artificial tactility is one of the challenges in the fields of smart robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), because touch emulation relies on high-performance pressure sensor arrays, sign...

Automatically personalizing complex control of robotic prostheses to improve gait performance, such as gait symmetry, is challenging. Recently, human-in-the-loop (HIL) optimization and reinforcement learning (RL) have shown promise in achieving optim...
Locomotor biomechanics faces a core trade-off between laboratory-based and field-based studies. Laboratory conditions offer control over confounding factors, repeatability, and reduced technological challenges, but limit the diversity of animals and ...
In 2018, the da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic system was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for urologic procedures. Available studies for the application of SP to prostate cancer surgery are limited. The aim of our study is to summariz...
With the ever-pressing challenges of societal ageing, robotic technologies for older people are increasingly portrayed as a solution for better independent living for longer. However, the application of human-following robots for elderly citizens has...
As rubber-like elastomers have led to scientific breakthroughs in soft, stretchable characteristics-based wearable, implantable electronic devices or relevant research fields, developments of degradable elastomers with comparable mechanical propertie...
