Bioinspired Freeze-Tolerant Soft Materials: Design, Properties, and Applications.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
In nature, many biological organisms have developed the exceptional antifreezing ability to survive in extremely cold environments. Inspired by the freeze resistance of these organisms, researchers have devoted extensive efforts to develop advanced f...

On-demand anchoring of wireless soft miniature robots on soft surfaces.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Untethered soft miniature robots capable of accessing hard-to-reach regions can enable new, disruptive, and minimally invasive medical procedures. However, once the control input is removed, these robots easily move from their target location because...

Research on Data Security Communication Scheme of Heterogeneous Swarm Robotics System in Emergency Scenarios.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In emergency scenarios where the on-site information is completely lacking or the original environmental state has been completely changed, autonomous and mobile swarm robotics are used to quickly build a rescue support system to ensure the safety of...

A cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis studying operative times and complications for a surgeon transitioning from laparoscopic to robot-assisted pediatric pyeloplasty: Defining proficiency and competency.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: The transition from laparoscopic to robot-assisted procedures leads to potential increase in operative times and health care costs. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis can objectively study the learning curve to detect significant changes i...

Design and simulation analysis of a bionic ostrich robot.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
To look for the reason why the biped animal in nature can run with such high speed and to design a bionic biped prototype which can behave the high speed running and jumping ability, this paper takes the fastest bipedal animal in nature: ostrich as t...

Phantom and Animal Study of a Robot-Assisted, CT-Guided Targeting System using Image-Only Navigation for Stereotactic Needle Insertion without Positional Sensors.

Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR
PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a robotic system to integrate and map computed tomography (CT) and robotic coordinates, followed by automatic trajectory execution by a robotic arm. The system was hypothesized to achieve a targeti...

Trends in Robot-Assisted Procedures for General Surgery in the Veterans Health Administration.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: Implementation of robot-assisted procedures is growing. Utilization within the country's largest healthcare network, the Veterans Health Administration, is unclear.

Modeling and Control of a Spherical Robot in the CoppeliaSim Simulator.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This article presents the development of a model of a spherical robot that rolls to move and has a single point of support with the surface. The model was developed in the CoppeliaSim simulator, which is a versatile tool for implementing this kind of...

Cost-analysis of robot-assisted radical cystectomy in Europe: A cross-country comparison.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) is surging worldwide. Aim of the study was to perform a multicentric cost-analysis of RARC by comparing the gross cost of the intervention across hosp...

Why pay more for robot in esophageal cancer surgery?

Updates in surgery
Esophagectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. Traditionally, it is performed through a laparotomy and a thoracotomy, and is associated with high rates of postoperative complications and mortality. The advent of...
