Social robots are becoming increasingly influential in shaping the behavior of humans with whom they interact. Here, we examine how the actions of a social robot can influence human-to-human communication, and not just robot-human communication, usin...
This article presents the novel Python, C# and JavaScript libraries of Node Primitives (NEP), a high-level, open, distributed, and component-based framework designed to enable easy development of cross-platform software architectures. NEP is built on...
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is increasingly applied to renal hilar tumors. The present study aims to introduce our vessel and tension-free reconstruction technique and discuss the perioperative, functional, and midterm oncologic outcom...
INTRODUCTION: Adverse effects in the sexual sphere are common in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy (RP). Climacturia, involuntary loss of urine during orgasm, occurs in 20-40% of cases after PR. We analyse its prevalence and associate...
Individuals with tetraplegia, typically attributed to spinal cord injuries (SCI) at the cervical level, experience significant health care costs and loss of independence due to their limited reaching and grasping capabilities. Neuromuscular electrica...

The advent of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has allowed transoral approaches for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumours to be re-evaluated. It provides enhanced visualisation and instrument access for appropriate tumours. We describe a specific techni...
For robot-assisted rehabilitation and assessment of patients with motor dysfunction, the parametric generation of their normal gait as the input for the robot is essential to match with the features of the patient to a greater extent. In addition, th...
