Objective assessment of robotic surgical skills: review of literature and future directions.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of robotic surgical skill has become increasingly important as robotic approaches to common surgeries become more widely utilized. However, evaluation of these currently lacks standardization. In this paper, we aimed to review ...

[Clinical value of alternative technologies to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy - single port, reduced port, robotics, NOTES].

Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany)
Surgical interventions should ideally treat an existing disease curatively and achieve this with a low complication rate and minimal trauma. In this sense, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become established as the recognized standard for the treatme...

Composite-Learning-Based Adaptive Neural Control for Dual-Arm Robots With Relative Motion.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This article presents an adaptive control method for dual-arm robot systems to perform bimanual tasks under modeling uncertainties. Different from the traditional symmetric bimanual robot control, we study the dual-arm robot control with relative mot...

Recognizing Continuous Multiple Degrees of Freedom Foot Movements With Inertial Sensors.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Recognition of continuous foot motions is important in robot-assisted lower limb rehabilitation, especially in prosthesis and exoskeleton design. For instance, perceiving foot motion is essential feedback for the robot controller. However, few studie...

Simultaneous Calibration of the Hand-Eye, Flange-Tool and Robot-Robot Relationship in Dual-Robot Collaboration Systems.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A multi-robot collaboration system can complete more complex tasks than a single robot system. Ensuring the calibration accuracy between robots in the system is a prerequisite for the effective inter-robot cooperation. This paper presents a dual-robo...

Full subcostal subxiphoid robotic-assisted radical thymectomy: preclinical cadaveric study for optimizing patient positioning, table settings, and port configuration.

Updates in surgery
Robotic subxiphoid transthoracic thymectomy showed several surgical advantages. Nevertheless, the intercostal insertion of trocars may lead to nerve injury with enhanced post-operative pain. Moreover, the dissection of peri-diaphragmatic mediastinal ...

Flexible Electronics and Devices as Human-Machine Interfaces for Medical Robotics.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Medical robots are invaluable players in non-pharmaceutical treatment of disabilities. Particularly, using prosthetic and rehabilitation devices with human-machine interfaces can greatly improve the quality of life for impaired patients. In recent ye...

Spectral Diagnostic Model for Agricultural Robot System Based on Binary Wavelet Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The application of agricultural robots can liberate labor. The improvement of robot sensing systems is the premise of making it work. At present, more research is being conducted on weeding and harvesting systems of field robot, but less research is ...

Impact of the robotic-assistance level on upper extremity function in stroke patients receiving adjunct robotic rehabilitation: sub-analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic therapy has been demonstrated to be effective in treating upper extremity (UE) paresis in stroke survivors. However, it remains unclear whether the level of assistance provided by robotics in UE training could affect the improveme...
