Behavioral Data Analysis of Robot-Assisted Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Interventions Based on Lattice Computing Techniques.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Review on generic methods for mechanical modeling, simulation and control of soft robots.

PloS one
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...

Impact of robotic single and dual console systems in the training of minimally invasive gynecology surgery (MIGS) fellows.

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

Spin is present in the majority of articles evaluating robot-assisted groin hernia repair: a systematic review.

Surgical endoscopy
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...

A tale of two robots: Operating times and learning curves in robot-assisted lumbar fusion.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
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...

Using the Social Robot NAO for Emotional Support to Children at a Pediatric Emergency Department: Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of medical Internet research
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...

Economizing on a 12 mm port incision site: modification of robotic bowel stapling technique in Da Vinci X/Xi left colonic resections-the modified Norfolk and Norwich robotic stapling technique.

Journal of robotic surgery
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...

Discrete-time practical robotic control for human-robot interaction with state constraint and sensorless force estimation.

ISA transactions
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...

Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic approach to concurrent bariatric surgery and hiatal hernia repair: propensity score matching analysis using the 2015-2018 MBSAQIP.

Surgical endoscopy
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...

Single-Port Retzius-Sparing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Feasibility and Early Outcomes.

Journal of endourology
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 ...
