Recent years have witnessed the proliferation of social robots in various domains including special education. However, specialized tools to assess their effect on human behavior, as well as to holistically design social robot applications, are often...
In this review paper, we are interested in the models and algorithms that allow generic simulation and control of a soft robot. First, we start with a quick overview of modeling approaches for soft robots and available methods for calculating the mec...
The advantages of dual console use in robotic surgical education have not been described. The aims of this study are to compare fellow console time, surgical steps performed, and surgical takeovers between attending and fellow surgeons using dual ver...
BACKGROUND: The number of scientific articles published each year is increasing, resulting in greater competition to get work published. Spin is defined as specific reporting strategies used to distort the readers' interpretation of results so that t...

Robotic assistance technologies are being incorporated into minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and operating staff. However, they introduce new issues including increased...
BACKGROUND: Social robots (SRs) have been used for improving anxiety in children in stressful clinical situations, such as during painful procedures. However, no studies have yet been performed to assess their effect in children while waiting for eme...
The modified Norfolk and Norwich technique allows to replace a 12 mm port incision site by an 8 mm one, therefore reducing potential postoperative complications linked to 12 mm incisions by robotically stapling through the routinely placed suprapubic...
Employing a continuous-time control algorithm to control the practical system based on discrete-time digital computer will lead to the cost of performance degeneration. To address this issue, this paper proposes a discrete-time barrier Lyapunov funct...
BACKGROUND: Up to 37% of class three obesity patients have a Hiatal Hernia (HH). Most of the existent HHs get repaired at the time of bariatric surgery. Although the robotic platform might offer potential technical advantages over traditional laparos...
To determine safety and feasibility of single-port Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-rsRARP) using the da Vinci SP (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) robotic platform in men with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Twenty-eight ...
