There are many definitions for the concept of a robot, perhaps too many; it has even been said that we do not know how to define them, but when we see a robot, we identify it [...].
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the short-term effect of Da Vinci robot-assisted thoracoscopic (RATS) bronchial sleeve lobectomy, so as to summarize its safety and effectiveness.
We present a multi-material three-dimensional-printed snakeskin with orthotropic friction anisotropy, which permits undulatory slithering of a soft snake robot on rough surfaces. Such a snakeskin is composed of a soft skin base and embedded rigid sca...
As the growing popularity of robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures for the treatment of renal cancer increases, there exists a variation in surgical technique among institutions and surgeons alike. One variation that exists in robotics is the anat...
