The effectiveness of extremely low-pressure pneumoperitoneum on pain reduction after robot-assisted cholecystectomy.

Asian journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted cholecystectomy could provide a sufficient surgical field with the extremely low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (ELPP; 4 mmHg) by the robot arm lifting the abdominal wall upward. This study aimed to investigate the effect of...

Needle path planning in semiautonomous and teleoperated robot-assisted epidural anaesthesia procedure: A proof of concept.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Epidural anaesthesia is a Percutaneous Procedure (PP) which plays a crucial role in surgical procedures, where accurate needle insertion is still challenging. The objective of this work is to present a Tuohy needle path planning, which al...

Precision forceps tracking and localisation using a Kalman filter for continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) requires surgeons to manipulate fragile eye tissue at the microscale. The limited perceptual accuracy of surgeons makes it difficult to precisely position the forceps. Robot technology provides a...

Learning curve analysis of multiport robot-assisted hysterectomy.

Archives of gynecology and obstetrics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes and learning curve of multiport robot-assisted hysterectomy.

Feasibility of robotic thyroidectomy via hairline incision using da Vinci single port system: Initial experience with 40 consecutive cases.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to introduce our robotic technique, which can minimize dissection extent using the da Vinci SP robotic system via hairline incision.

Does attributing mental states to a robot influence accessibility of information represented during reading?

Acta psychologica
When we read fiction, we encounter characters that interact in the story. As such, we encode that information and comprehend the stories. Prior studies suggest that this comprehension process is facilitated by taking the perspective of characters dur...

Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy After Prior Transurethral Resection of Prostate: An Analysis of Perioperative, Functional, Pathologic, and Oncologic Outcomes.

Journal of endourology
We performed a retrospective comparison of surgical, oncologic, and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between patients who have undergone prior transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) to TURP-naive patients. Past rob...

ARMIA: A Sensorized Arm Wearable for Motor Rehabilitation.

Biosensors
In this paper, we present ARMIA: a sensorized arm wearable that includes a combination of inertial and sEMG sensors to interact with serious games in telerehabilitation setups. This device reduces the cost of robotic assistance technologies to be aff...

AI-Enabled Mosquito Surveillance and Population Mapping Using Dragonfly Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Mosquito-borne diseases can pose serious risks to human health. Therefore, mosquito surveillance and control programs are essential for the wellbeing of the community. Further, human-assisted mosquito surveillance and population mapping methods are t...

Step Climbing Control of Snake Robot with Prismatic Joints.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The ultimate goal of this research study is to perform continuous rather than sequential movements of prismatic joints for effective motion of a snake robot with prismatic joints in a complex terrain. We present herein a control method for robotic st...
