BACKGROUND: The Flex Robotic System (Medrobotics, Raynham, MA, USA) is the first miniaturised flexible endoscopic robot that aims to allow surgical manoeuvres beyond the area currently reached by transanal endoscopic microsurgery. The aim of this stu...
Robotic wheelchair research and development is a growing sector. This article introduces a robotic wheelchair taxonomy, and a readiness model supported by a mini-review. The taxonomy is constructed by power wheelchair and, mobile robot standards, the...
The use of robots to assist feeding has become important for people with an impaired arm function. Yet, despite large-scale dissemination strategies, it has proven difficult to sustain the use of this technology. This ethnographic study draws on the ...
Real-time systems are widely used in industry, including technological process control systems, industrial automation systems, SCADA systems, testing, and measuring equipment, and robotics. The efficiency of executing an intelligent robot's mission i...
Weight-bearing exoskeletons are robots that need to carry loads and interact with humans frequently. Therefore, the actuators of these exoskeletons are supposed to be capable of outputting sufficient force with high compliance and little weight. A se...
BACKGROUND: Fungal spondylodiscitis is a rare infectious disease. The secondary lumbar spinal stenosis and postoperative discal pseudocyst were even rarer. The surgical interventions were disputed, yet endoscopic and robot-assisted techniques may be ...
