BACKGROUND: Improved cancer control with increasing surgical experience-the learning curve-was demonstrated for open and laparoscopic prostatectomy. In a prior single-center study, we found that this might not be the case for robot-assisted radical p...
The recent pandemic outbreak proved social distancing effective in helping curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants along with the wearing of masks and hand gloves in hospitals and assisted living environments. Health delivery personnel having undergon...
This paper proposes , a method for building object-oriented semantic maps that remain consistent in the long-term operation of mobile robots. Among the different challenges that compromise this aim, focuses on two of the more relevant ones: preventi...
BACKGROUND: Combining robotic therapy (RT) with task-oriented therapy is an emerging strategy to facilitate motor relearning in stroke rehabilitation. This study protocol will compare novel rehabilitation regimens that use bilateral RT as a priming t...

BACKGROUND: Few studies fairly compared anorectal function and prognostic outcomes between patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection (APR) and anorectal-function-saving operations (ASO) under the equivalent conditions. By contrast, surgeons used...
Highly sensitive and multimodal sensors have recently emerged for a wide range of applications, including epidermal electronics, robotics, health-monitoring devices and human-machine interfaces. However, cross-sensitivity prevents accurate measuremen...
Population aging and pandemics have been shown to cause the isolation of elderly people in their houses, generating the need for a reliable assistive figure. Robotic assistants are the new frontier of innovation for domestic welfare, and elderly moni...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salvage radiation therapy (sRT) on survival, functional outcomes, and quality of life in men with persistent prostate-specific antigen (PSA >0.1 ng/mL) after a robot-assisted radical prosta...
A robust perception system is crucial for natural human-robot interaction. An essential capability of these systems is to provide a rich representation of the robot's environment, typically using multiple sensory sources. Moreover, this information a...
