Effective task scheduling in human-robot collaboration (HRC) scenarios is one of the great challenges of collaborative robotics. The shared workspace inside an industrial setting brings a lot of uncertainties that cannot be foreseen. A prior offline ...
As we age, humans see natural decreases in muscle force and power which leads to a slower, less efficient gait. Improving mobility for both healthy individuals and those with muscle impairments/weakness has been a goal for exoskeleton designers for d...
Vision processing for control of agile autonomous robots requires low-latency computation, within a limited power and space budget. This is challenging for conventional computing hardware. Parallel processor arrays (PPAs) are a new class of vision se...
Neuromorphic hardware enables fast and power-efficient neural network-based artificial intelligence that is well suited to solving robotic tasks. Neuromorphic algorithms can be further developed following neural computing principles and neural networ...
INTRODUCTION: Anastomotic insufficiency after oesophagectomy contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality of affected patients. A safe surgical technique can reduce the incidence of such anastomotic insufficiencies.
BACKGROUND: To date, robotic surgery in urology is well established all over the world. The newest platform on the market is the HUGO™ RAS system, developed by Medtronic. In this paper we provide a brief description of the system and describe our sys...
Double inferior vena cava (DIVC) is a rare but generally asymptomatic condition that is often detected incidentally by radiological examinations such as computed tomography (CT). Here, we describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with DIVC, who underw...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) can benefit patients in terms of functional recovery in the treatment of renal hilar tumors compared to conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (CLPN).
BACKGROUND: Although a number of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) procedures have been performed due to three-dimensional field of view, image stabilization, and flexible joint function, both the surgeons and surgical teams req...
