Modular Bioinspired Hand with Multijoint Rigid-Soft Finger Possessing Proprioception.

Soft robotics
Soft robot hands have the advantage of remarkable adaptability for grasping. Especially for the soft and fragile objects, soft fingers had presented their much excellent potential compared with their rigid counterparts. However, less degree of freedo...

Strategies to Implement Pet Robots in Long-Term Care Facilities for Dementia Care: A Modified Delphi Study.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: Pet robots are technology-based substitutes for live animals that have demonstrated psychosocial benefits for people living with dementia in long-term care. However, little research has been conducted to understand how pet robots should b...

Design and Experimental Research of Robot Finger Sliding Tactile Sensor Based on FBG.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Aiming at the problem of flexible sliding tactile sensing for the actual grasp of intelligent robot fingers, a double-layer sliding tactile sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) for robot fingers is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the optimal em...

Financial Toxicity After Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy and Its Relation with Oncologic, Functional Outcomes.

The Journal of urology
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate frequency of financial toxicity among patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.

Objective performance metrics in human robotic neuroendovascular interventions: a scoping review protocol.

JBI evidence synthesis
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to review the available information on objective performance metrics used during robotic neuroendovascular intervention procedures on humans.

Initial experience with a novel robotic surgical system in abdominal surgery.

Journal of robotic surgery
The emergence of robotics in surgery has led to a recent boom in the acceptance of such technology. This technology has been rapidly adopted in various fields, with the most prominent being general surgery. The number of abdominal procedures being pe...

Comparison of single-port and multi-port Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Dissemination of robotic surgical technology for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has yielded advancements including the Retzius-sparing (RS) approach and the single-port (SP) platform. The safety and feasibility of each individual ad...

Volume-outcome relationship in intra-abdominal robotic-assisted surgery: a systematic review.

Journal of robotic surgery
As robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) expands to smaller centres, platforms are shared between specialities. Healthcare providers must consider case volume and mix required to maintain quality and cost-effectiveness. This can be informed, in-part, by the...

Increased cost burden associated with robot-assisted rectopexy: do patient outcomes justify increased expenditure?

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgical techniques have flourished over the years, with refinement in instrumentation and optics allowing for adaptation and increasing utilization across surgical fields. Transabdominal rectopexy with mesh for rectal prol...

Estimation of the Kinematics and Workspace of a Robot Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
At present, in specific and complex industrial operations, robots have to respect certain requirements and criteria as high kinematic or dynamic performance, specific dimensions of the workspace, or limitation of the dimensions of the mobile elements...
