BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgical techniques such as robotic surgical platforms have provided favourable outcomes for patients, but the impact on surgeons is not well described. This systematic review aims to synthesize and evaluate the physica...
Endonasal surgery is a minimally invasive approach for the removal of pituitary tumors (sarcomas). In this type of procedure, the surgeon has to complete the surgical maneuvers for sarcoma resection with extreme precision, as there are many vital str...
As an essential part for the development of autonomous agricultural robotics, the functional safety of autonomous agricultural machines is largely based on the functionality and robustness of non-contact sensor systems for human protection. This arti...

Robotic assisted bronchoscopy represents a major turning point in bronchoscopic history. The management strategies to address significant airway bleeding in this "robotic era" are not well documented, and further guidance is required. We present a ca...
Today's use of large-scale industrial robots is enabling extraordinary achievement on the assembly line, but these robots remain isolated from the humans on the factory floor because they are very powerful, and thus dangerous to be around. In contras...
Jamming technologies are one of the promising approaches of variable stiffness mechanisms. However, there are problems limiting the broad application of jamming-based approaches such as a limited stiffening capacity and restricted stiffening position...
Robotic transmaxillary skull base surgery has been described using multiport systems. This cadaveric study investigates the feasibility of transmaxillary skull base surgery using a next-generation robot. An extended Caldwell-Luc antrostomy, measuring...
Tensile and torsional artificial muscles from biocompatible and biodegradable materials are highly desired for soft robotics, sensors, and controllers in bio-related applications. Twisted fibers can be used to prepare tensile and torsional artificial...
