BACKGROUND: There have been few studies reporting on the surgical approaches of minimally invasive spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP). Herein, we present two cases who underwent robotic SPDP with resection of the splenic vessels using our...
Robotic cochlear implantation is an effective way to restore the hearing of hearing-impaired patients, and facial nerve recognition is the key to the operation. However, accurate facial nerve segmentation is a challenging task, mainly for two key iss...
As artificial systems are starting to be widely deployed in real-world settings, it becomes critical to provide them with the ability to discriminate between different informants and to learn from reliable sources. Moreover, equipping an artificial a...
Computer vision has shown promising potential in wearable robotics applications (e.g., human grasping target prediction and context understanding). However, in practice, the performance of computer vision algorithms is challenged by insufficient or b...
