Robotic abdominal resection of tailgut cysts - A technical note with step-by-step description.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: Here, we describe a step-by-step standardized technique for tailgut cyst resection using a single-docking robotic approach.

Robot-assisted gait training with auditory and visual cues in Parkinson's disease: A randomized controlled trial.

Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) may have beneficial effects on Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the evidence to date is inconsistent.

Human Control Model Estimation in Physical Human-Machine Interaction: A Survey.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The study of human-machine interaction as a unique control system was one of the first research interests in the engineering field, with almost a century having passed since the first works appeared in this area. At the same time, it is a crucial asp...

Guiding the design of superresolution tactile skins with taxel value isolines theory.

Science robotics
Tactile feedback is essential to make robots more agile and effective in unstructured environments. However, high-resolution tactile skins are not widely available; this is due to the large size of robust sensing units and because many units typicall...

Hiding Assistive Robots During Training in Immersive VR Does Not Affect Users' Motivation, Presence, Embodiment, Performance, Nor Visual Attention.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Combining immersive virtual reality (VR) using head-mounted displays (HMDs) with assisting robotic devices might be a promising procedure to enhance neurorehabilitation. However, it is still an open question how immersive virtual environments (VE) sh...

Retzius-sparing technique independently predicts early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is the conventional surgical treatment option for localised prostate cancer. We investigated factors which may be associated with recovery of early urinary continence (EUC), including the use of the Retzius...

Feasibility, effectiveness and transferability of a novel mastery-based virtual reality robotic training platform for general surgery residents.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The annual number of robotic surgical procedures is on the rise. Robotic surgery requires unique skills compared to other surgical approaches. Simulation allows basic robot skill acquisition and enhances patient safety. The purpose of thi...

Robotic partial nephrectomy in 3D virtual reconstructions era: is the paradigm changed?

World journal of urology
CONTEXT: The development of a tailored, patient-specific medical and surgical approach is becoming object of intense research. In kidney oncologic surgery, where a clear understanding of case-specific surgical anatomy is considered a key point to opt...

Robots in Eldercare: How Does a Real-World Interaction with the Machine Influence the Perceptions of Older People?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
(1) Background: Using autonomous social robots in selected areas of care for community-dwelling older adults is one of the promising approaches to address the problem of the widening care gap. We posed the question of whether a possibility to interac...

Gender Identification in a Two-Level Hierarchical Speech Emotion Recognition System for an Italian Social Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The real challenge in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is to build machines capable of perceiving human emotions so that robots can interact with humans in a proper manner. Emotion varies accordingly to many factors, and gender represents one of the mos...
