Emergence of flexible technology in developing advanced systems for post-stroke rehabilitation: a comprehensive review.

Journal of neural engineering
Stroke is one of the most common neural disorders, which causes physical disabilities and motor impairments among its survivors. Several technologies have been developed for providing stroke rehabilitation and to assist the survivors in performing th...

Current status of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy: what is the real benefit?

Surgery today
Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer has been performed increasingly frequently over the last few years. Robotic systems with articulated devices and tremor filtration allow surgeons to perform such procedures...

Untethered Microrobots for Active Drug Delivery: From Rational Design to Clinical Settings.

Advanced healthcare materials
Recent advances of untethered microrobots, which navigate the complex regions in vivo for therapeutics, have presented promising multiple applications on future healthcare. Microrobots used for active drug delivery system (DDS) have been demonstrated...

COVID surveillance robot: Monitoring social distancing constraints in indoor scenarios.

PloS one
Observing social/physical distancing norms between humans has become an indispensable precaution to slow down the transmission of COVID-19. We present a novel method to automatically detect pairs of humans in a crowded scenario who are not maintainin...

Preliminary Functional Outcome Following Robotic Intracorporeal Orthotopic Ileal Neobladder Suspension with Round Ligaments in Women with Bladder Cancer.

European urology
BACKGROUND: Chronic urinary retention (CUR) is a frequent complication after orthotopic neobladder (ONB) reconstruction in women. To decrease CUR, several open surgical modifications to provide back support to the ONB have been established on the bas...

Comparison of the short-term efficacy of two types of robotic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The advantages and disadvantages of robotic technology compared with conventional surgery for low rectal cancer have been discussed extensively. However, a few studies on the efficacy of total mesorectal excision (TME) with different robo...

Lateral bending and buckling aids biological and robotic earthworm anchoring and locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Earthworms () are characterized by soft, highly flexible and extensible bodies, and are capable of locomoting in most terrestrial environments. Previous studies of earthworm movement focused on the use of retrograde peristaltic gaits in which control...

Nursing Intervention Countermeasures of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Urological Surgery Complications.

Contrast media & molecular imaging
The objective is to explore the application effect of comprehensive nursing intervention in prevention of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in urological patients undergoing laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic surge...
