Remote-Access Thyroidectomy in the Pediatric Population: a Systematic Review.

Advances in therapy
INTRODUCTION: Remote-access thyroidectomy has been reported in the pediatric population in a limited fashion.

Recent Progress of Tactile and Force Sensors for Human-Machine Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) plays a key role in the interaction between people and machines, which allows people to easily and intuitively control the machine and immersively experience the virtual world of the meta-universe by virtual reality/augm...

A Novel Tactile Function Assessment Using a Miniature Tactile Stimulator.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Several methods for the measurement of tactile acuity have been devised previously, but unexpected nonspatial cues and intensive manual skill requirements compromise measurement accuracy. Therefore, we must urgently develop an automated, accurate, an...

Shape classification technology of pollinated tomato flowers for robotic implementation.

Scientific reports
Three pollination methods are commonly used in the greenhouse cultivation of tomato. These are pollination using insects, artificial pollination (by manually vibrating flowers), and plant growth regulators. Insect pollination is the preferred natural...

A novel wave-like crawling robot has excellent swimming capabilities.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Multiple animals ranging from micro-meter scale bacteria to meter scale vertebrates rely on undulatory motion to propel themselves on land and in the water. This type of locomotion also appears in amphibious animals such as sea snakes and salamanders...

Robotic Burch colposuspension: anatomical and technical considerations.

International urogynecology journal
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Up to 13.6% of women will undergo surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence during their lifetime. Midurethral slings are the mainstay of stress incontinence treatment; however, diversity of surgical options is n...

Strategy for automatic ultrasound (US) probe positioning in robot-assisted ultrasound guided radiation therapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
. As part of image-guided radiotherapy, ultrasound-guided radiotherapy is currently already in use and under investigation for robot assisted systems Ipsen 2021. It promises a real-time tumor localization during irradiation (intrafractional) without ...

Effects of a cognitive-based intervention program using social robot PIO on cognitive function, depression, loneliness, and quality of life of older adults living alone.

Frontiers in public health
OBJECTIVE: Social robot interventions are being implemented to reduce cognitive decline, depression, and loneliness among older adults. However, the types, functions, and programs of effective social robots have not yet been confirmed. This study inv...
