Robotic partial nephrectomy for complex kidney cyst in a 4-year old boy: Points of technique.

Journal of pediatric urology
Complex kidney cysts are rarely observed in childhood. In adult patients, when radiological studies found a suspicious renal lesion, the gold standard is surgical asportation. The robotic surgery is well known as a secure procedure for treatment thes...

Bioinspired Self-Resettable Hydrogel Actuators Powered by a Chemical Fuel.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
The movements of soft living tissues, such as muscle, have sparked a strong interest in the design of hydrogel actuators; however, so far, typical manmade examples still lag behind their biological counterparts, which usually function under nonequili...

Human Arm Motion Prediction for Collision Avoidance in a Shared Workspace.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Industry 4.0 transforms classical industrial systems into more human-centric and digitized systems. Close human-robot collaboration is becoming more frequent, which means security and efficiency issues need to be carefully considered. In this paper, ...

Virtual Obstacles for Sensors Incapacitation in Robot Navigation: A Systematic Review of 2D Path Planning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The field of mobile robot (MR) navigation with obstacle avoidance has largely focused on real, physical obstacles as the sole external causative agent for navigation impediment. This paper has explored the possible option of virtual obstacles (VOs) d...

Hybrid robot-assisted gait training for motor function in subacute stroke: a single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is a practical treatment that can complement conventional rehabilitation by providing high-intensity repetitive training for patients with stroke. RAGT systems are usually either of the end-effector or ...

Two-dimensional C-arm robotic navigation system (i-Navi) in spine surgery: a pilot study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Pedicle screws placement is very common procedure in spinal surgery. Robotic assisted surgery has been widely used in this operation. We assessed the accuracy of thoracolumbar spine trans-pedicle screws (TPS) implantation utilizing a noval r...

Structural design and analysis of pneumatic prostate seed implantation robot applied in magnetic resonance imaging environment.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The method of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) image-guided robot for prostate seed implantation has developed rapidly in recent years. During the operation, although the puncture effect guided by MRI is very good, it is difficult for con...

Interactive and synergistic behaviours of multiple heterogeneous microrobots.

Lab on a chip
Microrobots have been extensively studied for biomedical applications, and significant innovations and advances have been made in diverse aspects of the field. However, most studies have been based on individual microrobots with limited capabilities,...
