To compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) between patients with cystic renal cell carcinoma (cRCC) and those with solid RCC (sRCC). We retrospectively analyzed 1065 patients who underwent RAPN between 2013 and 2020...
Rehabilitative training has been shown to improve motor function following spinal cord injury (SCI). Unfortunately, these gains are primarily task specific; where reach training only improves reaching, step training only improves stepping and stand t...

BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a stage preceding dementia, and early intervention is critical. This study investigated whether multi-domain cognitive training programs, especially robot-assisted training, conducted 12 times, twice a w...
The use of drones (or unmanned aerial vehicles, UVAs) in humanitarian action has emerged rapidly in the last decade and continues to expand. These so-called 'humanitarian drones' represent the first wave of robotics applied in the humanitarian and de...
The current gold standard surgical treatment for right colonic malignancy is the laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRH). However, laparoscopic surgery has limitations which can be overcome by robotic surgery. The benefits of robotics for rectal cance...
Materials that transform shapes responding to external stimuli can bring unprecedented innovations to soft matter physics, soft robotics, wearable electronics, and architecture. As most conventional soft actuation technologies induce large deformatio...
IMPORTANCE: Few studies have evaluated long-term surgical complications in patients with prostate cancer (PC) who receive open radical prostatectomy (ORP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
