PURPOSE: Vision-based tissue tracking is a significant component for building efficient autonomous surgical robot system. While the methodology involves various challenges caused by occlusion, deformation and appearance changes.
This paper presents the principle of motion, mechanical modeling and key characteristics of the propulsive force of a new flexible-fin traveling wave propulsion mechanism used in an amphibious robot. Firstly, the form of motion and the basic propulsi...
The collective experience supporting the safety and efficacy of transoral robotic surgery continues to grow. The surgical robot da Vinci Xi has been used successfully off-label for head and neck surgery, including transoral robotic surgery. We evalua...
Opioid dependency has been a persistent issue in the United States over the past two decades. Increased efforts have been made to reduce opioid prescribing. Our objective was to quantify at-home opioid requirements following radical prostatectomy. ...
Technology offers educators tools that can tailor learning to students' learning styles and interests. Research into the use of socially-assistive robots as a learning support for children on the autism spectrum are showing promising results. However...
The paper describes the semi-automatised calibration procedure of an electronic skin comprising screen-printed graphene-based sensors intended to be used for robotic applications. The variability of sensitivity and load characteristics among sensors ...
Sense of Agency (SoA) is the feeling of being in control of one's actions and their outcomes. In a social context, people can experience a "vicarious" SoA over another human's actions; however, it is still controversial whether the same occurs in Hum...
