Social Robots for Evaluating Attention State in Older Adults.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sustained attention is essential for older adults to maintain an active lifestyle, and the deficiency of this function is often associated with health-related risks such as falling and frailty. The present study examined whether the well-established ...

Transference of skills in robotic vs. laparoscopic simulation: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: Elucidating how robotic skills are best obtained will enable surgeons to best develop future robotic training programs. We perform a randomized controlled trial to assess the performance of robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery, transf...

Three-Fingered Soft Pneumatic Gripper Integrating Joint-Tuning Capability.

Soft robotics
Compared with traditional rigid grippers, soft grippers are made of lightweight and soft materials and have the characteristics of flexible contact and strong adaptability, which are widely utilized to grasp fragile objects with complex contours and ...

Tensegrity Robotics.

Soft robotics
Numerous recent advances in robotics have been inspired by the biological principle of tensile integrity-or "tensegrity"-to achieve remarkable feats of dexterity and resilience. Tensegrity robots contain compliant networks of rigid struts and soft ca...

Identifying curriculum content for a cross-specialty robotic-assisted surgery training program: a Delphi study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted surgery is increasing and there is a need for a structured and evidence-based curriculum to learn basic robotic competencies. Relevant training tasks, eligible trainees, realistic learning goals, and suitable training met...

Robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy with the da Vinci Xi: can the costs of advanced technology be offset by clinical advantages? A case-matched cost analysis versus open approach.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has shown some advantages over open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) but few studies have reported a cost analysis between the two techniques. We conducted a structured cost-analysis comparing pancrea...

Identifying Preoperative Predictors of Operative Time and Their Impact on Outcomes in Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy.

Journal of endourology
To identify preoperative characteristics in patients with renal masses that influence operative time during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and evaluate the relationship between operative time and length of stay (LOS), complication rates, ...

Robotic endovascular surgery: current and future practice.

Seminars in vascular surgery
Minimally invasive techniques have been at the forefront of surgical progress, and the evolution of endovascular robotic technologies has seen a paradigm shift in the focus of future innovation. Endovascular robotic technology may help overcome many ...

Review and current update of robotic-assisted laparoscopic vascular surgery.

Seminars in vascular surgery
The field of vascular surgery is constantly evolving and is unsurpassed in its innovation and adoption of new technologies. Endovascular therapy has fundamentally changed the treatment paradigms for aneurysm and occlusive disease. As we continue to m...

3D Recognition Based on Sensor Modalities for Robotic Systems: A Survey.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
3D visual recognition is a prerequisite for most autonomous robotic systems operating in the real world. It empowers robots to perform a variety of tasks, such as tracking, understanding the environment, and human-robot interaction. Autonomous robots...
