Robotic compounding versus manual compounding of chemotherapy: Comparing dosing accuracy and precision.

European journal of pharmaceutical sciences : official journal of the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences
BACKGROUND: Cytostatic drugs are increasingly being prepared with a cytostatic robot, though it is not known whether the dose of the final product is more accurate after automated or manual preparation. This study is the first to compare accuracy and...

Zwitterionic 3D-Printed Non-Immunogenic Stealth Microrobots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Microrobots offer transformative solutions for non-invasive medical interventions due to their small size and untethered operation inside the human body. However, they must face the immune system as a natural protection mechanism against foreign thre...

Robotic "Double Loop" Roux-en-Y gastric bypass reduces the risk of postoperative internal hernias: a prospective observational study.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Internal herniation (IH) is a potentially serious complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of IH after robot-assisted RYGB (RA-RYGB) performed with the "Double Loop...

Development of a High-Fidelity Robot-Assisted Kidney Transplant Simulation Platform Using Three-Dimensional Printing and Hydrogel Casting Technologies.

Journal of endourology
Despite the adoption of robotic donor nephrectomy, the steep learning curve of robotic recipient transplantation has hindered the implementation of a complete robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT). We sought to develop a high-fidelity perfuse...

Stretchable Nanocomposite Sensors, Nanomembrane Interconnectors, and Wireless Electronics toward Feedback-Loop Control of a Soft Earthworm Robot.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Sensors that can detect external stimuli and perceive the surrounding areas could offer an ability for soft biomimetic robots to use the sensory feedback for closed-loop control of locomotion. Although various types of biomimetic robots have been dev...

Mechanics of walking and running up and downhill: A joint-level perspective to guide design of lower-limb exoskeletons.

PloS one
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach...

Evaluation of a stand-alone robotic camera holding system: technology that improves laparoscopy.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: In order to perform laparoscopic procedures, a surgeon requires an assistant to hold the camera. Problems with this approach include table crowding leading to poor ergonomics, and miscommunication leading to poor images. AutoLap is a no...

Preschoolers' Motivation to Over-Imitate Humans and Robots.

Child development
From preschool age, humans tend to imitate causally irrelevant actions-they over-imitate. This study investigated whether children over-imitate even when they know a more efficient task solution and whether they imitate irrelevant actions equally fro...

MR-Conditional Actuations: A Review.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most prevailing technologies to enable noninvasive and radiation-free soft tissue imaging. Operating a robotic device under MRI guidance is an active research area that has the potential to provide effic...

Retroauricular thyroidectomy with a single-arm robotic surgical system: Preclinical cadaveric study.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: In this study, we evaluate a new flexible, single-arm robotic system in performing thyroidectomy via a retroauricular approach.
