As the end execution tool of agricultural robots, the manipulator directly determines whether the grasping task can be successfully completed. The human hand can adapt to various objects and achieve stable grasping, which is the highest goal for mani...
This investigation presents a novel soft-robotic pneumatic gripper that consists of three newly proposed soft actuators. The newly proposed soft actuators adopt a composite structure of two kinds of pneumatic networks which can work independently and...
Internal computational models of physical bodies are fundamental to the ability of robots and animals alike to plan and control their actions. These "self-models" allow robots to consider outcomes of multiple possible future actions without trying th...
A prerequisite for social coordination is bidirectional communication between teammates, each playing two roles simultaneously: as receptive listeners and expressive speakers. For robots working with humans in complex situations with multiple goals t...
This study was to show the impact of 'prostate-muscle index (PMI)', which we developed as a novel pelvic cavity measurement, in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We defined PMI as the 'distance between the inner edge of...
The interpretation of conventional MRI may be limited by the two-dimensional presentation of the images. To develop patient-specific MRI prostate-based virtual and three-dimensional (3D)-printed models. To assess the association between 3D imaging an...
Reversible and variable dry adhesion is a promising approach for versatile robotic grasping. Variable stiffness materials with a modulus that can be tuned using an external stimulus offer a unique approach to realize dynamic control of adhesion. In t...
Surgical skill evaluation while performing minimally invasive surgeries is a highly complex task. It is important to objectively assess an individual's technical skills throughout surgical training to monitor progress and to intervene when skills ar...
