Over the last few decades, medical-assisted robots have been considered by many researchers, within the research domain of robotics. In this article, a 5-degrees-of-freedom spatial medical manipulator is analyzed for path planning, based on inverse k...
Data from an experienced center that randomized patients to open vs robotic cystectomy for urothelial cancer demonstrated locational differences in recurrence. While the study was not powered to detect survival differences, overall, cancer-specific, ...
Improving the efficiency of detecting the spatial distribution of gas information with a mobile robot is a great challenge that requires rapid sample collection, which is basically determined by the speed of operation of gas sensors. The present work...

Determination of the material properties of soft tissue is a growing area of interest that aids in the development of new surgical tools and surgical simulators. This study first aims to develop a robot-operated tissue testing system for determinatio...
Plants use many strategies to move efficiently in soil, such as growth from the tip, tropic movements, and morphological changes. In this paper, we propose a method to translate morphological features of Zea mays roots into a new design of soft robot...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal schwannomas are extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. Traditionally, resection of esophageal schwannoma is typically performed using thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic surgery. However, large, irregular...
