Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication, social interaction, and restricted behaviors. The importance of early inte...
We developed a training protocol using the humanoid robot NAO, called IOGIOCO (Interactive mirroring Games wIth sOCial rObot), based on the use of intransitive gestures embedded in naturalistic dialog...
We demonstrated the tolerability of the protocol. We found that one group (n=4, males and 2 females) reached the training level, while another and group (n=6 males) remained at a familiarization level...
While current results will need a Randomized Controlled Trial to be confirmed, the present work sets an important milestone in using social robots for ASD treatment, aimed at impacting social and comm...
Surgical video review is an emerging tool for assessing patient outcomes, especially in complex surgeries such as robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). Assessing and measuring warm ischaemia time...
We evaluated 32 surgical video recordings from patients undergoing RAPN and measured WIT, ExcT, RecT and IntT with a stopwatch. Factors such as tumour characteristics and surgeon experience were also ...
We recorded a median WIT of 1,048 s (17 min and 28 s). The median of ExcT, RecT and IntT was 398 s (37.1% of WIT), 518 s (46.7% of WIT) and 180 s (16.2% of WIT), respectively. We found a significant c...
Tumour morphology influences all surgical times, and surgeon experience influences only ExcT. We observed a short RecT during RAPN though at the cost of increased ExcT, and we believe that improving s...
The influence of anatomical parameters on urinary continence (UC) after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) remains uncharted. Our objective was to evaluate their associatio...
Robotic-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) was designed to improve implant position accuracy by providing surgeons with real-time intra-operative data to tailor the operation to the patient. Propo...
All patients who had undergone unilateral MAKO® ERAS Day Surgery TKA from August 2020 to July 2021 were prospectively followed up and matched to patients who underwent conventional ERAS Day Surgery TK...
42 patients underwent MAKO® ERAS Day surgery TKA and were matched to 42 patients who underwent conventional ERAS Day surgery TKA. The study found that despite the longer surgical duration, LOS was com...
ERAS Day Surgery protocol can significantly reduce the LOS of patient undergoing MAKO® Robotic-arm Assisted TKA, conferring cost savings and making it a valid option for patients....
Robotics has increased rates of minimally invasive surgery, with distinct advantages over open surgery. However, current commercially available robotic platforms have device and system issues that lim...

Thirty patients (13 female, 17 male) were analyzed. The mean age was 59.4 (SD 13.4) years. Seventy percent (n = 21) were overweight/obese and 53.3% (n = 16) had prior abdominal surgery. Forty percent ...
Single arm study, short-term follow-up....
This first clinical study of a novel miniaturized robotic-assisted surgery device along the IDEAL framework demonstrated it was safe and effective. Given this success, further assessment and long-term...
Although a trend of an improved alignment with robotic total hip arthroplasty (THA) over conventional methods has surfaced from recent series, it is unknown whether these results translate into meanin...
Records were extracted from 2016-2019 from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project which is the largest in-patient database in the United States. From 367,...
Demographic distributions between robotic and conventional THA groups displayed similar age and sex characteristics. Shorter mean lengths of stay (1.87 days) were seen in robotic THA versus convention...
Evidence has emerged from our results to support more routine adaptation of the robotic option of performing a THA. These can be based on lower local, systemic, and mechanical complications as demonst...
To evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) followed by activities of daily living (ADL) training in comparison with conventional rehabilitation therapy (CRT) and ADL training in ind...

A tertiary care teaching hospital in India PARTICIPANTS: Forty-four persons (n=44) with first-ever stroke (in subacute stage) were enrolled from August 2021, to July, 2023....
Participants in the RAT group (n=22) received RAT for 30 minutes, followed by ADL training for 30 minutes. In contrast, participants in the CRT group (n=22) received CRT (30 minutes) followed by ADL t...
