BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal urinary diversion are less invasive than conventional procedures. However, for older patients, cutaneous ureterostomy (CUS) may be preferred because urinary diversion using the i...
To compare and analyze the differences in safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy between robot-assisted right hemicolectomy (RARH) and totally robotic right hemicolectomy (TRRH). We collected the information of 184 patients who underwent right h...

BACKGROUND: The operation object of robot-assisted fracture reduction surgery is the musculoskeletal tissue with rigid-compliance coupling characteristics. It is necessary to improve the interactive compliance and safety between the reduction robot a...
BACKGROUND: During transoral robot-assisted thyroidectomy, there is a risk of increasing intracranial pressure because the site of CO insufflation is narrow and close to the brain.
Humans can physically interact with other humans adeptly. Some overground interaction tasks, such as guiding a partner across a room, occur without visual and verbal communication, which suggests that the information exchanges occur through sensing m...
One of the most challenging topics in robotics is simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in the indoor environments. Due to the fact that Global Navigation Satellite Systems cannot be successfully used in such environments, different data sourc...
