This paper aims to improve the performance of an electromyography (EMG) decoder based on a switching mechanism in controlling a rehabilitation robot for assisting human-robot cooperation arm movements. For a complex arm movement, the major difficulty...
BACKGROUND: Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) represents the standard of care for high grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Open and laparoscopic approaches are well-established treatments, but evidence regarding robotic RNU is growing. The ...
Minimally invasive donor nephrectomy has become the standard procedure in most transplant centres over the past two decades and has contributed to a reduction in postoperative morbidity for the donor. Robot-assisted technology is an alternative to co...
We present an approach for real-time model-free optimization of the orientation of the elliptical trajectory. The performance is evaluated in simulation and experimental stages. Our model-free approach is based on the use of Extremum Seeking Control ...
INTRODUCTION: Pediatric surgery began with single-incision flank surgery and has evolved to multi-port laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Recent technological advances with the single-port (SP) robot have allowed for transition back to single-incis...
BACKGROUND: Despite efforts aimed at preserving renal function, the functional decline after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is not negligible. To address the risk of intraparenchymal vessel injuries during renorrhaphy, with consequent loss...
No data exist concerning the appication of a new robotic system with 3 mm instruments (Senhance®, Transenterix) in infants and small children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the system for its feasibility, performance and safety of robo...
To examine whether utilizing an employed surgical first assistant or a physician as an assistant during gynecologic robotic cases affects surgical variables. A high volume gynecologic oncologist's robotic case data spanning fourteen years (2005-2018)...
