Mixed microbial communities, usually composed of various bacterial and fungal species, are fundamental in a plethora of environments, from soil to human gut and skin. Their evolution is a paradigmatic example of intertwined dynamics, where not just t...
In this study, an automated tableware tidying-up robot system was developed to tidy up tableware in a self-service restaurant with a large amount of tableware. This study focused on sorting and collecting tableware placed on trays detected by an RGB-...
Dexterous manipulation in robotic hands relies on an accurate sense of artificial touch. Here we investigate neuromorphic tactile sensation with an event-based optical tactile sensor combined with spiking neural networks for edge orientation detectio...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a core technology for mobile robots working in unknown environments. Most existing SLAM techniques can achieve good localization accuracy in static scenes, as they are designed based on the assumption t...
BACKGROUND: Caroli's syndrome is a rare disease characterised by non-obstructive dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts, hepatic fibrosis, and an increased risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma. Minimally invasive liver resection has recently been incre...
INTRODUCTION: While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has transformed the treatment landscape of surgical care, its utilization is not well understood. The newly released Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample allows for more accurate estimates of MIS v...
We aimed to compare three robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) approaches-Retzius sparing (RS), extraperitoneal (EP), and transperitoneal (TP)-performed at our institution using the da Vinci single-port (SP) platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunn...
