A Neural Network Based Approach to Inverse Kinematics Problem for General Six-Axis Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Inverse kinematics problems (IKP) are ubiquitous in robotics for improved robot control in widespread applications. However, the high non-linearity, complexity, and equation coupling of a general six-axis robotic manipulator pose substantial challeng...

Multifunctional microrobot with real-time visualization and magnetic resonance imaging for chemoembolization therapy of liver cancer.

Science advances
Microrobots that can be precisely guided to target lesions have been studied for in vivo medical applications. However, existing microrobots have challenges in vivo such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, actuation module, and intra- and postoper...

Robotic Surgery for Stone Disease.

Current urology reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To evaluate recent literature regarding the role of robotic technology in the treatment of nephrolithiasis with particular attention to complex technical procedures.

The learning curve of imageless robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty with standardised laxity testing requires the completion of nine cases, but does not reach time neutrality compared to conventional surgery.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: The assistance of robot technology is introduced into the operating theatre to improve the precision of a total knee arthroplasty. However, as with all new technology, new technology requires a learning curve to reach adequate proficiency. T...

Preliminary Surgical Outcomes After Single Incision Robotic Cystectomy (SIRC).

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To report the preliminary surgical outcomes for single incision robotic cystectomy (SIRC). Robotic cystectomy is associated with low utilization rates of orthotopic neobladders due to challenges related to intracorporeal sowing and configu...

UNav: An Infrastructure-Independent Vision-Based Navigation System for People with Blindness and Low Vision.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Vision-based localization approaches now underpin newly emerging navigation pipelines for myriad use cases, from robotics to assistive technologies. Compared to sensor-based solutions, vision-based localization does not require pre-installed sensor i...

Robotic Platform for Horticulture: Assessment Methodology and Increasing the Level of Autonomy.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The relevance of the study is confirmed by the rapid development of automation in agriculture, in particular, horticulture; the lack of methodological developments to assess the effectiveness of the introduction of robotic technologies; and the need ...

Evaluating the Impact of Assessment Metrics for Simulated Central Venous Catheterization Training.

Simulation in healthcare : journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare
INTRODUCTION: Performance assessment and feedback are critical factors in successful medical simulation-based training. The Dynamic Haptic Robotic Trainer (DHRT) allows residents to practice ultrasound-guided needle insertions during simulated centra...

Neurotechnology's Prospects for Bringing About Meaningful Reductions in Neurological Impairment.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Here we report and comment on the magnitudes of post-stroke impairment reduction currently observed using new neurotechnologies. We argue that neurotechnology's best use case is impairment reduction as this is neither the primary strength nor main go...

A Geometric Kinematic Model for Flexible Voxel-Based Robots.

Soft robotics
Voxel-based structures provide a modular, mechanically flexible periodic lattice, which can be used as a soft robot through internal deformations. To engage these structures for robotic tasks, we use a finite element method to characterize the motion...
