Cost-effectiveness analysis of overground robotic training versus conventional locomotor training in people with spinal cord injury.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Few, if any estimates of cost-effectiveness for locomotor training strategies following spinal cord injury (SCI) are available. The purpose of this study was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of locomotor training strategies following sp...

Real-time fundus reconstruction and intraocular mapping using an ophthalmic endoscope.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robotic ophthalmic endoscope holders allow surgeons to execute dual-hand operations in eye surgery. To prevent needle-like endoscopes from invading the retina when moving, surgeons expect visual and real-time information about the relativ...

The Surgical Learning Curve: Does Robotic Technical Skill Explain Differences in Operative Performance?

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
Prior studies on technical skills use small collections of videos for assessment. However, there is likely heterogeneity of performance among surgeons and likely improvement after training. If technical skill explains these differences, then it shou...

FUN-SIS: A Fully UNsupervised approach for Surgical Instrument Segmentation.

Medical image analysis
Automatic surgical instrument segmentation of endoscopic images is a crucial building block of many computer-assistance applications for minimally invasive surgery. So far, state-of-the-art approaches completely rely on the availability of a ground-t...

Usefulness of balanced SSFP sequence in robot-assisted MRI-guided prostate biopsy: Beyond scouting.

European journal of radiology
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether bSSFP images are useful for visualizing prostatic lesionsin MRI-guided in-bore transrectal biopsy.

A Study on the Role of Affective Feedback in Robot-Assisted Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, there have been many approaches to using robots to teach computer programming. In intelligent tutoring systems and computer-aided learning, there is also some research to show that affective feedback to the student increases learning...

Bioinspired microrobots: Opportunities and challenges in targeted cancer therapy.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
Chemotherapy is still the most effective technique to treat many forms of cancer. However, it also carries a high risk of side effects. Numerous nanomedicines have been developed to avoid unintended consequences and significant negative effects of co...

Pleasant Stroke Touch on Human Back by a Human and a Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Pleasant touching is an important aspect of social interactions that is widely used as a caregiving technique. To address the problems resulting from a lack of available human caregivers, previous research has attempted to develop robots that can per...

Drone-assisted collection of environmental DNA from tree branches for biodiversity monitoring.

Science robotics
The protection and restoration of the biosphere is crucial for human resilience and well-being, but the scarcity of data on the status and distribution of biodiversity puts these efforts at risk. DNA released into the environment by organisms, i.e., ...
