Do robots reflect their creators?

Science robotics
IG-11 in "The Mandalorian" poses the question of whether roboticists are the Bounty Hunters' Guild or Kuiil.

Retzius-sparing vs. standard robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for clinically localised prostate cancer: a comparative study.

Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases
BACKGROUND: Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is not yet universally accepted due to still limited functional data and some concerns on oncological safety compared to the standard one. We assessed perioperative, pathological...

Novel approaches utilizing robotic navigational bronchoscopy: a single institution experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
The effective biopsy of pulmonary nodules is crucial to early diagnosis and consequent effective treatment for patients. As a relatively new procedure, few studies look at the effectiveness of the Monarch system in achieving this goal. The aim of thi...

Robot-assisted versus thoracolaparoscopic oesophagectomy for locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted oesophagectomy (RAE) and thoracolaparoscopic oesophagectomy (TLE) are surgical techniques for the treatment of oesophageal cancer. This study aimed to compare the perioperative and mid-term outcomes of RAE versus TLE for ...

Percutaneous Ablation Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Completely Endophytic Renal Masses: A Multicenter Trifecta Analysis with a Minimum 3-Year Follow-Up.

Journal of endourology
To compare outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and percutaneous tumor ablation (PTA) for completely endophytic renal masses. Data of patients who underwent RAPN or PTA for treatment of completely endophytic (three points for "E" d...

Home-care nursing controlled mobile robot with vital signal monitoring.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
This study describes the development (design, construction, instrumentation, and control) of a nursing mobile robotic device to monitor vital signals in home-cared patients. The proposed device measures electrocardiography potentials, oxygen saturati...

Fabrication and Functionality Integration Technologies for Small-Scale Soft Robots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Small-scale soft robots are attracting increasing interest for visible and potential applications owing to their safety and tolerance resulting from their intrinsic soft bodies or compliant structures. However, it is not sufficient that the soft bodi...

Comparative Analysis of Laparoscopic and Robotic Transperitoneal Adrenalectomy Performed at a Single Institution.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the standard surgical approach for adrenalectomy. At present, robotic adrenalectomy (RA) has been introduced at various hospitals. This study evaluated our initial experience with robotic ...

Efficacy and Safety of the "Trisection Method" Training System for Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy at a Single Institution in Japan.

Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.)
To maintain a surgeon's concentration, reduce fatigue, and train young surgeons, surgical procedures for bladder cancer are divided into the following parts: robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), bowel reconstruction, and totally intracorporeal u...

Visual SLAM: What Are the Current Trends and What to Expect?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems have shown significant performance, accuracy, and efficiency gain. In this regard, Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) methods refer to the SLAM approaches that em...
