The history of robotic surgery and its evolution: when illusion becomes reality.

Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes
The term "robot" was concepted in the beginning of last century, coming originally from the Czech word "robota", meaning "labor". More recently, computer assistance and robotics based in the telepresence and virtual reality concept have been applied ...

Let's not be indifferent about robots: Neutral ratings on bipolar measures mask ambivalence in attitudes towards robots.

PloS one
Ambivalence, the simultaneous experience of both positive and negative feelings about one and the same attitude object, has been investigated within psychological attitude research for decades. Ambivalence is interpreted as an attitudinal conflict wi...

LigaSure versus the standard technique (Hem-o-lok clips) for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a propensity score-matched study.

Journal of robotic surgery
The aim of the study is to compare the utility and efficacy of the LigaSure system and standard surgical clips for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The medical records of 473 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between Ma...

Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy Versus Open Radical Cystectomy in Bladder Cancer Patients: A Multicentre Comparative Effectiveness Study.

European urology
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) and urinary diversion in patients with bladder cancer is known for its high risk of complications. Although open radical cystectomy (ORC) is regarded as the standard treatment, r...

Relationship Development with Humanoid Social Robots: Applying Interpersonal Theories to Human-Robot Interaction.

Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking
(HSRs) are human-made technologies that can take physical or digital form, resemble people in form or behavior to some degree, and are designed to interact with people. A common assumption is that social robots can and should mimic humans, such that...

Total knee arthroplasty: Latest robotics implantation techniques.

Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
The recent introduction of new robotic systems for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has created somewhat of a craze. Nevertheless, we can ask ourselves whether it is justified to use these new but very costly technologies. The results and limitations of...

PID++: A Computationally Lightweight Humanoid Motion Control Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Currently robotic motion control algorithms are tedious at best to implement, are lacking in automatic situational adaptability, and tend to be static in nature. Humanoid (human-like) control is little more than a dream, for all, but the fastest comp...

Visual behavior modelling for robotic theory of mind.

Scientific reports
Behavior modeling is an essential cognitive ability that underlies many aspects of human and animal social behavior (Watson in Psychol Rev 20:158, 1913), and an ability we would like to endow robots. Most studies of machine behavior modelling, howeve...

Behavioral and neurophysiological effects of an intensified robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke: a case control study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Physical training is able to induce changes at neurophysiological and behavioral level associated with performance changes for the trained movements. The current study explores the effects of an additional intense robot-assisted upper ext...

Biomimetic soft micro-swimmers: from actuation mechanisms to applications.

Biomedical microdevices
Underwater robot designs inspired by the behavior and morphological characteristics of aquatic animals can provide reinforced mobility and energy efficiency. In the past two decades, the emerging materials science and integrated circuit technology ha...
