BACKGROUND: Human-likeliness of robot movements is a key component to enable a safe and effective human-robot interaction, since it contributes to increase acceptance and motion predictability of robots that have to closely interact with people, e.g....
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent causes of disability among the older adults. It is a chronic-progressive neuro-degenerative disease, characterized by several motor disorders. Balance disorders are a symptom that involves t...
In nature, the lateral line system (LLS) is a critical sensor organ of fish for rheotaxis in complex environments. Inspired by the LLS, numbers of artificial lateral line systems (ALLSs) have been designed to the fish-like robots for flow field perce...
BACKGROUND: Cosmetic satisfaction is not only based on the patient's perception of the scar itself but is also related to body image self-evaluation. Cosmetic superiority of Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (RATT) over conventional thyroide...
Robot-assisted cardiovascular surgery is used to avoid surgeon suffering from X-ray radiation and relieve fatigue caused by long-time standing wearing protective clothing. Its remote surgery can alleviate the lack of experienced doctors in remote are...
Minimally invasive laparoscopic low or ultra-low anterior resection may present as a complex, technically difficult challenge to even the most experienced of colorectal surgeons. This is because, within the narrow confines of the pelvis, there is usu...
Human following is one of the fundamental functions in human-robot interaction for mobile robots. This paper shows a novel framework with state-machine control in which the robot tracks the target person in occlusion and illumination changes, as well...
