In aspect of the natural language processing field, previous studies have generally analyzed sound signals and provided related responses. However, in various conversation scenarios, image information is still vital. Without the image information, mi...
The compliance and deformability of soft robotics allow human-machine interactions in a safe manner without the need of sophisticated control systems inherent in rigid-body robotic devices. However, these advantages introduce controllability and pred...

AIM: Laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery has several limitations. Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) can potentially overcome these limitations. The aim of this study was to compare the rates of non-radical surgery and anastomotic leakage aft...
This work introduces an array prototype based on a Frequency Modulation (FM) encoding architecture to transfer multiple sensor signals on a single wire. The use case presented adopts Hall-effect sensors as an example to represent a much larger range ...
Tactile sensing is crucial for robots to manipulate objects successfully. However, integrating tactile sensors into robotic hands is still challenging, mainly due to the need to cover small multi-curved surfaces with several components that must be m...
We present a new architecture to address the challenges of speaker identification that arise in interaction of humans with social robots. Though deep learning systems have led to impressive performance in many speech applications, limited speech data...

BACKGROUND: Socially assistive robots (SARs) have been proposed as a tool to help individuals who have had a stroke to perform their exercise during their rehabilitation process. Yet, to date, there are no data on the motivating benefit of SARs in a ...
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and the primary cause of acquired disability worldwide. Many stroke survivors have difficulty using their upper limbs, which have important functional roles in the performance of daily life activities. Con...
We performed test clamp procedure in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) to prevent massive bleeding during tumor resection and to omit dissection of non-feeding arteries around the tumor. We subsequently analyzed the safety and usefulness of t...
