Robotic communication with ants.

The Journal of experimental biology
We used a robotic gantry to test the hypothesis that tandem running in the ant Temnothorax albipennis can be successful in the absence of trail laying by the leader. Pheromone glands were placed on a pin attached to a gantry. This set-up substituted ...

Contribution of an anticancer drug compounding robot in reducing the risks of manual preparation in a hospital pharmacy unit specialized in oncology.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
INTRODUCTION: In the last few years, pharmaceutical technology has evolved. In the field of oncology pharmacy, robots for the preparation of anti-cancer drugs have appeared to progressively replace manual preparation. The objective of this study is t...

Impact of the transection plan on postoperative pancreatic fistulas occurring after robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy for nonmalignant pancreatic neoplasms.

Surgical endoscopy
OBJECTIVES: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the main complication of distal pancreatectomy (DP) and affects the prognosis of patients. The impact of several clinical factors mentioned in recent studies on POPF remains controversial. This s...

Multicentric exploration of tool annotation in robotic surgery: lessons learned when starting a surgical artificial intelligence project.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential to reduce surgical risks and improve surgical assessment. Machine learning, a subfield of AI, can be used to analyze surgical video and imaging data. Manual annotations provide verac...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic versus open partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in patients with severe chronic kidney disease.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: To compare surgical and functional outcomes between robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and open partial nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma with stage 4 chronic kidney disease.

Collision Detection of a HEXA Parallel Robot Based on Dynamic Model and a Multi-Dual Depth Camera System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper introduces a Hexa parallel robot and obstacle collision detection method based on dynamic modeling and a computer vision system. The processes to deal with the collision issues refer to collision detection, collision isolation, and collisi...

CLSQL: Improved Q-Learning Algorithm Based on Continuous Local Search Policy for Mobile Robot Path Planning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
How to generate the path planning of mobile robots quickly is a problem in the field of robotics. The Q-learning(QL) algorithm has recently become increasingly used in the field of mobile robot path planning. However, its selection policy is blind in...

Safety and risk factors of TINAVI robot-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement in spinal surgery.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
OBJECTIVE: To determine the rates and risk factors of pedicle screw placement accuracy and the proximal facet joint violation (FJV) using TINAVI robot-assisted technique.

The effects of robotic assistance on upper limb spatial muscle synergies in healthy people during planar upper-limb training.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is a commonly adopted technique used to restore motor functionality of neurological patients. However, despite promising results were achieved, the effects of human-robot interaction on human motor control and the r...
