Transferability of robotic console skills by early robotic surgeons: a multi-platform crossover trial of simulation training.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic surgical training is undergoing a period of transition now that new robotic operating platforms are entering clinical practice. As this occurs, training will need to be adapted to include strategies to train across various consoles. These new...

Efficient Informative Path Planning via Normalized Utility in Unknown Environments Exploration.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Exploration is an important aspect of autonomous robotics, whether it is for target searching, rescue missions, or reconnaissance in an unknown environment. In this paper, we propose a solution to efficiently explore the unknown environment by unmann...

Online Boosting-Based Target Identification among Similar Appearance for Person-Following Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
It is challenging for a mobile robot to follow a specific target person in a dynamic environment, comprising people wearing similar-colored clothes and having the same or similar height. This study describes a novel framework for a person identificat...

Diaphragmatic paralysis post COVID-19 treated with robot-assisted plication reinforced with acellular dermal matrix: a report of two cases.

Monaldi archives for chest disease = Archivio Monaldi per le malattie del torace
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be a disease of global importance, with an increasing array of sequelae attributed to infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. One such complication that has been rarely docume...

Electric-field-coupled oscillators for collective electrochemical perception in biohybrid robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This work explores the application of nonlinear oscillators coupled by an electric field in water, inspired by weakly electric fish. Such coupled oscillators operate in clear and colloidal (mud, bottom silt) water and represent a collective electroch...

Being watched by a humanoid robot and a human: Effects on affect-related psychophysiological responses.

Biological psychology
Eye contact with a humanoid robot has been shown to evoke similar affect and affiliation related psychophysiological responses as eye contact with another human. In this pre-registered study, we investigated whether these effects are dependent on the...

Review on Piezoelectric Actuators Based on High-Performance Piezoelectric Materials.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
The piezoelectric actuator is a kind of actuation device that acts through the inverse piezoelectric effect. Due to advantages of high precision, low power consumption, compact size, and flexible structure design, they have a wide range of applicatio...

Electrostatic Adhesion Clutch with Superhigh Force Density Achieved by MXene-Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride-Trifluoroethylene-Chlorotrifluoroethylene) Composites.

Soft robotics
Electrostatic adhesion (EA) clutches are widely applied in robots, wearable devices, and virtual reality, due to their compliance, lightweight, ultrathin profile, and low power consumption. Higher force density has been constantly perpetuated in the ...

A Bioinspired Fluid-Filled Soft Linear Actuator.

Soft robotics
In bioinspired soft robotics, very few studies have focused on fluidic transmissions and there is an urgent need for translating fluidic concepts into realizable fluidic components to be applied in different fields. Nature has often offered an inspir...
