Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy Conventional Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: Functional and Surgical Outcomes of a Prospective Single Surgeon Randomized Study.

Journal of endourology
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) are commonly used techniques for treating small renal masses. Regarding renal function (RF) preservation, no superiority of one technique over the other has yet bee...

BCI training to move a virtual hand reduces phantom limb pain: A randomized crossover trial.

Neurology
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether training with a brain-computer interface (BCI) to control an image of a phantom hand, which moves based on cortical currents estimated from magnetoencephalographic signals, reduces phantom limb pain.

Using a Rotating 3D LiDAR on a Mobile Robot for Estimation of Person's Body Angle and Gender.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
We studied the use of a rotating multi-layer 3D Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) sensor (specifically the Velodyne HDL-32E) mounted on a social robot for the estimation of features of people around the robot. While LiDARs are often used for robot ...

Expressing uncertainty in Human-Robot interaction.

PloS one
Most people struggle to understand probability which is an issue for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) researchers who need to communicate risks and uncertainties to the participants in their studies, the media and policy makers. Previous work showed tha...

Primary Robot-assisted Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Men with Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumor: Experience from a Multi-institutional Cohort.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: Primary robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RA-RPLND) for men with nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) is an alternative to open RPLND for stage I and select stage II patients.

Robotic Versus Open Ureteroneocystostomy: Is There a Robotic Benefit?

Journal of endourology
We sought to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent an open robotic ureteroneocystostomy for ureteral obstruction. Retrospective review was performed on adult patients who underwent primary ureteroneocystostomy for obstruction from January...

Using robotic mechanical perturbations for enhanced balance assessment.

Medical engineering & physics
Balance impairment is critical for many patient groups such as those with neural and musculoskeletal disorders and also the elderly. Accurate and objective assessment of balance performance has led to the development of several indices based on the m...

Modeling of Human Operator Behavior for Brain-Actuated Mobile Robots Steering.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Human operator control of brain-actuated robot steering based on electroencephalograph (EEG)-signals is a complex behavior consisting of surroundings perceiving, decision making, and commands issuing and differs among individual operators. However, n...

Intra-cortical brain-machine interfaces for controlling upper-limb powered muscle and robotic systems in spinal cord injury.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Intracortical brain-machine interface (iBMI) is an assistive strategy to restore lost sensorimotor function by bridging the disrupted neural pathways to reanimate paralyzed limbs. However, to date, none of the studies explored the trade-of...

The potential of socially assistive robots during infectious disease outbreaks.

Science robotics
Robots have a role in addressing the secondary impacts of infectious disease outbreaks by helping us sustain social distancing, monitoring and improving mental health, supporting education, and aiding in economic recovery.
