Numerous nature inspired algorithms have been suggested to enable robotic swarms, mobile sensor networks and other multi-agent systems to exhibit various self-organized behaviors. Swarm intelligence and swarm robotics research have been underway for ...
Soft robots take advantage of rich nonlinear dynamics and large degrees of freedom to perform actions often by novel means beyond the capability of conventional rigid robots. Nevertheless, there are considerable challenges in analysis, design, and op...
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are an extensively investigated type of soft actuator. However, the PAM motions have been limited somewhat to uniaxial contraction and extension, restraining the development of PAMs. Given the current strong intere...
Soft continuum robots are getting more popular in areas such as minimally invasive surgery, search and rescue, and inspection due to their inherent compliance and flexibility. However, most of the conventional continuum robots still lack the ability ...

Spatial navigation depends on the combination of multiple sensory cues from idiothetic and allothetic sources. The computational mechanisms of mammalian brains in integrating different sensory modalities under uncertainty for navigation is enlighteni...
Many studies have shown the operative feasibility and safety of robotic thyroidectomy. However, there is still a concern on the operative invasiveness of robotic thyroidectomy owing to the wide flap dissection. The aim of this study was to introduce...
Stereotypes are cognitive shortcuts that facilitate efficient social judgments about others. Just as causal attributions affect perceptions of people, they may similarly affect perceptions of technology, particularly anthropomorphic technology such a...
Robotic surgery has been one of the most revolutionary advancements in surgery, and demand is anticipated to grow. The performance of robotic surgery has seen an exponential increase in recent years. This is largely due to the benefits offered by rob...
OBJECTIVES: To present a comprehensive report regarding our experience with single-port robotic surgery in our first 100 consecutive patients. We describe the diversity of procedures that can be performed with this platform as well as the challenges ...
