Cost analysis of training residents in robotic-assisted surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
INTRODUCTION: Use of robotic-assisted surgery is increasing, and resident involvement may lead to higher costs. We investigated whether senior resident involvement in noncomplex robotic cholecystectomy (RC) and inguinal hernia (RIH) would take more t...

Robotic versus open pancreaticoduodenectomy in elderly patients: a propensity score-matched analysis.

HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association
BACKGROUND: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is complex procedure with high morbidity in the elderly. This retrospective study aimed to compare post-operative outcomes in patients ≥75 years of age who underwent robot-assisted (RA)PD and open PD.

The elephant in the room: The biomimetic principle in bio-robotics and embodied AI.

Studies in history and philosophy of science
In recent years, bio-inspired robots have shaped numerous domains of technical and scientific production. Bio-inspired robots can now be found in all areas of industry, medicine, architecture, and even culture. Despite the wealth of historiographic a...

The usability and feasibility validation of the social robot MINI in people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment; a study protocol.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Social robots have demonstrated promising outcomes in terms of increasing the social health and well-being of people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment. According to the World Health Organization's Monitoring and assessing digita...

Robot Technology for the Elderly and the Value of Veracity: Disruptive Technology or Reinvigorating Entrenched Principles?

Science and engineering ethics
The implementation of care robotics in care settings is identified by some authors as a disruptive innovation, in the sense that it will upend the praxis of care. It is an open ethical question whether this alleged disruption will also have a transfo...

Ultrasound Probe and Hand-Eye Calibrations for Robot-Assisted Needle Biopsy.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In robot-assisted ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, it is essential to conduct calibration of the ultrasound probe and to perform hand-eye calibration of the robot in order to establish a link between intra-operatively acquired ultrasound images and r...

Comparison of Modern Control Methods for Soft Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With the rise in new soft robotic applications, the control requirements increase. Therefore, precise control methods for soft robots are required. However, the dynamic control of soft robots, which is required for fast movements, is still an open to...

Impact of Warm Ischemia on Acute Kidney Injury After Robotic Partial Nephrectomy Stratified by Baseline Kidney Function.

Journal of endourology
To evaluate the differences in baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) status in correlations between warm ischemic time (WIT) and acute kidney injury (AKI) or acute/chronic renal function change after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This ...

The effect of the 2-UPS/RR ankle rehabilitation robot with coupling biomechanical model on muscle behaviors.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
With the popularization of biomechanical simulation technology, aiming at the rehabilitation of ankle joint injury, we imported simplified model of proposed 2-UPS/RR (two identical unconstraint kinematic branches with a universal-prismatic-spherical ...

[Robot-assisted pedicle screw placement].

Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie
OBJECTIVE: Pedicle screw-based posterior instrumentation of the spine.
