Robot Assisted Surgical Ward Rounds: Virtually Always There.

Journal of innovation in health informatics
 While an explosion in technological sophistication has revolutionized surgery within the operating theatre, delivery of surgical ward-based care has seen little innovation.  Use of telepresence allowing off-site clinicians communicate with patients ...

Optimizing the Use of a Liquid Handling Robot to Conduct a High Throughput Forward Chemical Genetics Screen of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Chemical genetics is increasingly being employed to decode traits in plants that may be recalcitrant to traditional genetics due to gene redundancy or lethality. However, the probability of a synthetic small molecule being bioactive is low; therefore...

High-precision quality assurance of robotic couches with six degrees of freedom.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
A robotic couch capable of six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) of motion was introduced for state-of-the-art radiation therapy. Patient treatment requires precise quality assurance (QA) of 6-DoF. Unfortunately, conventional methods do not provide the requ...

Muscleless motor synergies and actions without movements: From motor neuroscience to cognitive robotics.

Physics of life reviews
Emerging trends in neurosciences are providing converging evidence that cortical networks in predominantly motor areas are activated in several contexts related to 'action' that do not cause any overt movement. Indeed for any complex body, human or e...

SLAMM: Visual monocular SLAM with continuous mapping using multiple maps.

PloS one
This paper presents the concept of Simultaneous Localization and Multi-Mapping (SLAMM). It is a system that ensures continuous mapping and information preservation despite failures in tracking due to corrupted frames or sensor's malfunction; making i...

Evolution of upper limb kinematics four years after subacute robot-assisted rehabilitation in stroke patients.

The International journal of neuroscience
To assess functional status and robot-based kinematic measures four years after subacute robot-assisted rehabilitation in hemiparesis. Twenty-two patients with stroke-induced hemiparesis underwent a ≥3-month upper limb combined program of robot-ass...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of root shape in the moth orchid Phalaenopsis sp.: a biomimicry methodology for robotic applications.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Within the field of biorobotics, an emerging branch is plant-inspired robotics. Some effort exists in particular towards the production of digging robots that mimic roots; for these, a deeper comprehension of the role of root tip geometry ...

A Crossover Comparison of Standard and Telerobotic Approaches to Prenatal Sonography.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
OBJECTIVES: To determine the feasibility of a telerobotic approach to remotely perform prenatal sonographic examinations.

Implementing assessments of robot-assisted technical skill in urological education: a systematic review and synthesis of the validity evidence.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To systematically review and synthesise the validity evidence supporting intraoperative and simulation-based assessments of technical skill in urological robot-assisted surgery (RAS), and make evidence-based recommendations for the implem...
