Assessment of Thermal Damage from Robot-Drilled Craniotomy for Cranial Window Surgery in Mice.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Cranial window surgery allows for the imaging of brain tissue in live mice with the use of multiphoton or other intravital imaging techniques. However, when performing any craniotomy by hand, there is often thermal damage to brain tissue, which is in...

Sensor Fusion for Social Navigation on a Mobile Robot Based on Fast Marching Square and Gaussian Mixture Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Mobile robot navigation has been studied for a long time, and it is nowadays widely used in multiple applications. However, it is traditionally focused on two-dimensional geometric characteristics of the environments. There are situations in which ro...

Harnessing interpretable machine learning for holistic inverse design of origami.

Scientific reports
This work harnesses interpretable machine learning methods to address the challenging inverse design problem of origami-inspired systems. We established a work flow based on decision tree-random forest method to fit origami databases, containing both...

Neuro-cognitive assessment of intentional control methods for a soft elbow exosuit using error-related potentials.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Soft exosuits offer promise to support users in everyday workload tasks by providing assistance. However, acceptance of such systems remains low due to the difficulty of control compared with rigid mechatronic systems. Recently, there has been progre...

Electronic thygmonasty model inbiomimetic robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Direct contact of random objects from the open environment to the panel surface of an electronic device may reduce the work efficiency and cause permanent damage. However, there is a possible way to solve this problem, notably by implementing an adap...

How long does image based robotic total knee arthroplasty take during the learning phase? Analysis of the key steps from the first fifty cases.

International orthopaedics
INTRODUCTION: Robotically assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) is an emerging surgical tool. The purpose of this study was to analyze the length of time taken to perform the key steps of a RA-TKA for a surgeon and centre new to the MAKO robotic ...

What are the perceived benefits and barriers to the use of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty? A survey of members of the European Knee Society.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: Members of the European Knee Society (EKS) recently took part in an online questionnaire on robot-assisted TKA. The purpose of this study was to report and analyse the questionnaire results on the demographics of users versus non-users, the ...

Robot-patient registration for optical tracker-free robotic fracture reduction surgery.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Image-guided robotic surgery for fracture reduction is a medical procedure in which surgeons control a surgical robot to align the fractured bones by using a navigation system that shows the rotation and distance of bone mov...

Effect of Operative Time on Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Versus Open Pancreatoduodenectomy.

Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how operative time interacts with outcomes among different approaches to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Minimally invasive PDs (MIPD), which include laparoscopic (LPD) and robotic (RPD) approaches, are increasingly performed in ...

Electromyography-driven model-based estimation of ankle torque and stiffness during dynamic joint rotations in perturbed and unperturbed conditions.

Journal of biomechanics
The simultaneous modulation of joint torque and stiffness enables humans to perform large repertoires of movements, while versatilely adapting to external mechanical demands. Multi-muscle force control is key for joint torque and stiffness modulation...
