Robotic major and minor hepatectomy: critical appraisal of learning curve and its impact on outcomes.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robotic hepatectomy has gained increasing acceptance across the US. Although the robotic approach offers significant technical advantages, it is still bound by the individual surgeon's learning curve. Proficiency in this approach should t...

Robot-assisted rehabilitation training improves knee function and daily activity ability in older adults following total knee arthroplasty.

Research in nursing & health
To evaluate the effects of robot-assisted rehabilitation training on knee function and the daily activity ability of older adults following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Eighty-eight patients who underwent TKA were randomly assigned to a robot-assis...

An implantable soft robotic ventilator augments inspiration in a pig model of respiratory insufficiency.

Nature biomedical engineering
Severe diaphragm dysfunction can lead to respiratory failure and to the need for permanent mechanical ventilation. Yet permanent tethering to a mechanical ventilator through the mouth or via tracheostomy can hinder a patient's speech, swallowing abil...

Achieving functional alignment in total knee arthroplasty: early experience using a second-generation imageless semi-autonomous handheld robotic sculpting system.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: In order to minimize errors during achieving the targeted alignment of the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components, robotic-assisted surgery has been introduced with the aim to help surgeons to improve implant survival, clinical outcomes, a...

Adaptive Interaction Control of Compliant Robots Using Impedance Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents an impedance learning-based adaptive control strategy for series elastic actuator (SEA)-driven compliant robots without the measurement of the robot-environment interaction force. The adaptive controller is designed based on the c...

Robot-assisted subretinal injection system: development and preliminary verification.

BMC ophthalmology
BACKGROUND: To design and develop a surgical robot capable of assisting subretinal injection.

My Precious Friend: Human-Robot Interactions in Home Care for Socially Isolated Older Adults.

Clinical gerontologist
OBJECTIVES: Using a friendship framework, we explored interactions between a multi-functional companion robot and older adults residing in a low-resource community in South Korea.

Social Values of Care Robots.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Care robots have the potential to address the challenge of aging societies, such as labor shortages or the aging workforce. While previous studies have focused mainly on the productivity or workability of care robots, there has been an increasing nee...

Efficacy of robot-assisted hepaticojejunostomy and laparoscopic-assisted hepaticojejunostomy in pediatric congenital choledochal dilatation: a system review and meta-analysis.

Pediatric surgery international
PURPOSE: The efficacy of robot-assisted hepaticojejunostomy (RAHJ) and laparoscopic-assisted hepaticojejunostomy (LAHJ) in children with congenital choledochal dilatation has been a topic of much debate and controversy. The purpose of this study was ...

Real-Time Human Activity Recognition with IMU and Encoder Sensors in Wearable Exoskeleton Robot via Deep Learning Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Wearable exoskeleton robots have become a promising technology for supporting human motions in multiple tasks. Activity recognition in real-time provides useful information to enhance the robot's control assistance for daily tasks. This work implemen...
