Grasping and manipulation are fundamental ways for many creatures to interact with their environments. Different morphologies and grasping methods of "grippers" are highly evolved to adapt to harsh survival conditions. For example, human hands and bi...
BACKGROUND: Several surgical methods are used for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and electrode placement accuracy after robot-assisted (RAS) ver...
: Application of the EMG-driven robotic training in everyday therapeutic processes is a modern and innovative form of neurorehabilitation among patients after stroke. Active participation of the patient contributes to significantly higher activation ...
The spring-loaded inverted pendulum model is similar to human walking in terms of the center of mass (CoM) trajectory and the ground reaction force. It is thus widely used in humanoid robot motion planning. A method that uses a velocity feedback cont...

Evolution of gait rehabilitation robotic devices for stroke survivors has aimed at providing transparency to user's efforts and implementing 'assist-as-needed' paradigm. Alteration of muscle activity and synergies recruitment has been noticed in tria...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of ventilation with low tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladde...
IMPORTANCE: Before the widespread implementation of robotic systems to provide patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic occurs, it is important to understand the acceptability of these systems among patients and the economic consequences associated ...
Sandy beaches are areas that challenge robots of all sizes, especially smaller scale robots. Sand can hinder locomotion and waves apply hydrodynamic forces which can displace, reorient, or even invert the robot. Crab-like legs and gaits are well suit...
