Force and Torque Characterization in the Actuation of a Walking-Assistance, Cable-Driven Exosuit.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Soft exosuits stand out when it comes to the development of walking-assistance devices thanks to both their higher degree of wearability, lower weight, and price compared to the bulkier equivalent rigid exoskeletons. In cable-driven exosuits, the act...

Conversion rates in robotic thyroid surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
OBJECTIVE: To define the conversion risk to open procedure during robot-assisted thyroid surgery (RATS) identifying potential specific subclasses of procedures or accesses at higher conversion risk.

Pixel-Reasoning-Based Robotics Fine Grasping for Novel Objects with Deep EDINet Structure.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robotics grasp detection has mostly used the extraction of candidate grasping rectangles; those discrete sampling methods are time-consuming and may ignore the potential best grasp synthesis. This paper proposes a new pixel-level grasping detection m...

Enhancing the Sense of Attention from an Assistance Mobile Robot by Improving Eye-Gaze Contact from Its Iconic Face Displayed on a Flat Screen.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
One direct way to express the sense of attention in a human interaction is through the gaze. This paper presents the enhancement of the sense of attention from the face of a human-sized mobile robot during an interaction. This mobile robot was design...

The current status of robotic colorectal surgery training programmes.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RACS) is steadily increasing in popularity with an annual growth in the number of colorectal procedures undertaken robotically. Further upscaling of RACS requires structured and standardised robotic training to sa...

Robotic Cholecystectomies: What Are They Good for? - A Retrospective Study - Robotic versus Conventional Cases.

The Journal of surgical research
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted cholecystectomies are often criticized as expensive with uncertain benefit to patients. Characterization of robotic surgery benefits, as well as specific factors that drive cost, has the potential to shape the current deb...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of intra-row and inter-row weeding practices using autonomous robot systems in French vineyards.

The Science of the total environment
Viticulture, as well as other crops, is facing obligation to reduce the use of herbicides and to develop alternatives solutions to chemical weed control. These alternatives can be achieved by mechanical weeding either using tractors or weeding robots...

Robotics in therapeutic endoscopy (with video).

Gastrointestinal endoscopy
Since its inception, endoscopy has evolved from a solely diagnostic procedure to an expanding therapeutic field within gastroenterology. The incorporation of robotics in gastroenterology initially addressed shortcomings of flexible endoscopes in natu...
