Real-Time Stylized Humanoid Behavior Control through Interaction and Synchronization.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Restricted by the diversity and complexity of human behaviors, simulating a character to achieve human-level perception and motion control is still an active as well as a challenging area. We present a style-based teleoperation framework with the hel...

Robotic-Assisted Versus Manual Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Time-Driven Activity-Based Cost Analysis.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: The cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (RA-UKA) remains unclear. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) has been shown to accurately reflect true resource utilization. This study aimed to compare...

Towards functional robotic training: motor learning of dynamic tasks is enhanced by haptic rendering but hampered by arm weight support.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Current robot-aided training allows for high-intensity training but might hamper the transfer of learned skills to real daily tasks. Many of these tasks, e.g., carrying a cup of coffee, require manipulating objects with complex dynamics. ...

Robot-assisted Total Mesorectal Excision and Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection for Locally Advanced Middle-low Rectal Cancer.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Since their approval for clinical use, da Vinci surgical robots have shown great advantages in gastrointestinal surgical operations, especially in complex procedures. The high-quality 3-D visual, multijoint arm and natural tremor filtration allow the...

Nonlinear Intelligent Control of Two Link Robot Arm by Considering Human Voluntary Components.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper proposes a nonlinear intelligent control of a two link robot arm by considering human voluntary components. In general, human arm viscoelastic properties are regulated in different manners according to various task requirements. The viscoe...

Spherical Robots for Special Purposes: A Review on Current Possibilities.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The review discusses the possibilities of different driving mechanisms and sensors of spherical robots, and a special kind of mobile robots is introduced and discussed. The sensors discussed can expand robots' sensing capabilities which are typically...

Robotic ureteral reimplantation: systematic review and pooled analysis of comparative outcomes in adults.

Minerva urology and nephrology
INTRODUCTION: The surgical treatment of ureteral strictures in adults represents a challenging procedure for the variability of location, extension, and etiology of the disease. Open ureteral reimplantation (OUR) offered high success rates even when ...

Modeling of the dynamics of vascular embolization by using porous media for the design of injection robots of embolic agents.

Medical engineering & physics
Embolization is the prevailing therapy for tumor-targeting, anti-organ hyperfunction, and hemostasis. However, the injection of embolic agents largely depends on the experiences of doctors as assisted by X-ray, which will negate the health of the doc...

Effectiveness of Retzius-Sparing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy in a Renal Transplant Recipient: a Case Report.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) has increased as a long-term outcome of advanced immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (Rs-RARP) is reportedly less time-consuming and has a hig...
