BACKGROUND: A robotic rehabilitation gym can be defined as multiple patients training with multiple robots or passive sensorized devices in a group setting. Recent work with such gyms has shown positive rehabilitation outcomes; furthermore, such gyms...
Many legged robots have taken insight from animals to run, jump, and climb. Very few, however, have extended the flexibility of limbs to the task of swimming. In this paper, we address the study of multi-modal limbed locomotion by extending our later...

Saliva blood mixed liquid (SBML) appears in oral surgery, such as scaling and root planning, and it affects surgical vision and causes discomfort to the patient. However, removing SBML, i.e. frequent aspiration of the mixed liquid, is a routine task ...
Long-term oncologic data on patients undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for non-metastatic bladder cancer (BCa) are limited. The purpose of this study is to describe long-term oncologic outcomes of patients receiving robotic radical ...
The article describes the problem of geometric synthesis of the inspection robot suspension system, designed for operation in difficult conditions with the presence of scattered obstacles. The exemplary application of a mine infrastructure inspection...
In underwater environments, ensuring people's safety is complicated, with potentially life-threatening outcomes, especially when divers have to work in deeper conditions. To improve the available solutions for working with robots in this kind of envi...
The paper deals with the design and testing of a robot for industrial applications featuring omnidirectionality thanks to the use of mecanum wheels. While this architecture provides remarkable manoeuvrability in narrow or cluttered spaces, it has som...
This study aimed to investigate the accuracy and safety of mandibular osteotomy and distraction device positioning in distraction osteogenesis assisted by an electromagnetic navigation surgical robot. Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were randomly di...
