Jumping animals launch themselves from surfaces that vary widely in compliance from grasses and shrubs to tree branches. However, studies of robotic jumpers have been largely limited to those jumping from rigid substrates. In this paper, we leverage ...
BACKGROUND: Whether primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBH) should be treated with a conservative treatment or with surgical intervention (such as craniotomy, puncture, and drainage) is still controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibil...

OBJECTIVES: Postoperative inguinal hernia (IH) is one of the most common complications of radical prostatectomy (RP) including robot-assisted RP (RARP). However, a procedure to prevent IH after RARP has not been established. We investigated the impac...
BACKGROUND: Mesh-reinforced ventral hernia repair is considered the gold standard treatment for all but the smallest of hernias. Human data on mesh shrinkage in the retrorectus mesh position is lacking. A prospective observational cohort study was pe...
Robot grippers that lack physical compliance have a difficult time dealing with uncertainty, such as fragile objects that may not have well-defined shapes. Existing soft robotic grippers require a large empty workspace for their actuated fingers to c...
