The advantages of a multi-input display system platform in robotic thoracic surgery have not been well described. We report the novel application of a multi-display system for simultaneous visualization of an additional thoracoscopic image during a r...
In vivo bioprinting has recently emerged as a direct fabrication technique to create artificial tissues and medical devices on target sites within the body, enabling advanced clinical strategies. However, existing in vivo bioprinting methods are ofte...
Emerging applications of autonomous robots requiring stability and reliability cannot afford component failure to achieve operational objectives. Hence, identification and countermeasure of a fault is of utmost importance in mechatronics community. T...
We report a case of multiple brain abscesses' puncture, employing the ROSA™ Brain surgical robot (Zimmer Biomet) and the O-arm® O2 Imaging System (Medtronic). A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple supratentorial ring enhancing cystic lesions ...

OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we introduce an autonomous robotic ultrasound (US) imaging system based on reinforcement learning (RL). The proposed system and framework are committed to controlling the US probe to perform fully autonomous imaging of a sof...
This paper presents a novel method for nonprehensile manipulation of parts on a circularly oscillating platform when the effective coefficient of dry friction between the part and the platform is being dynamically controlled. Theoretical and experime...
Soft and stretchable sensors are essential to the development of electronic skin, especially their potential applications in health care and intelligent robots, which have increasingly attracted attentions. Herein, inspired by the epidermal tissue hi...
Evidence supporting the safe use of the single-port (SP) robot for partial nephrectomy is scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing robotic assisted SP vs multi-port (MP) partial nephrectomy (PN) ...
