OBJECTIVES: Lobectomy may unnecessarily resect healthy lung parenchyma in Stage 1A non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Segmentectomies may provide a lung-sparing option. VATS segmentectomies can be technically challenging; robotics may have features...
BACKGROUND: The quality of information during a medical visit, such as a preoperative anesthesia visit, impacts patient's satisfaction. New digital supports, including humanoid robots, have been recently proposed to provide medical information to pat...
Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) and robotic ureteroureterostomy (RUU) are two mini-invasive surgical techniques that have begun to be performed in pediatric urology in recent years. RALUR has been employed esp...
In candidates to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for locally advanced (iT3) prostate cancer on preoperative MRI, the performance of MRI for local staging is demonstrably suboptimal, and currently no prediction tools that might help surgeo...

Safety and accuracy are essential for path planning in a surgical navigation system. In this paper, an improved path planning algorithm is proposed to increase the autonomous level of spine surgery robots for higher safety and accuracy. Firstly, the ...
To improve the space attitude adjustment efficiency of the robot designed in this study, the average water level height variation of each ballast tank during the rescue process and the ballast water filling mass before the rescue process are taken as...
Robot-assisted minimal access surgery (MAS), compared with conventional MAS, has shown a number of benefits across several therapeutic indications but its use for transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) requires further evaluation. Here, we report the firs...
Liquid manipulation is the foundation of most laboratory processes. For macroscale liquid handling, both do-it-yourself and commercial robotic systems are available; however, for microscale, reagents are expensive and sample preparation is difficult....
Social robotics aims at designing robots capable of joint interaction with humans. On a conceptual level, sufficient mutual understanding is usually said to be a necessary condition for joint interaction. Against this background, the following questi...
