The objective of this article was to review the published scientific literature pertaining to robotic surgery and its applications in gynecologic malignancies and to summarize the impact of robotic surgery on the field of gynecologic oncology. Summarizing data from different gynecologic disease-sites, robotic-assisted surgery is safe, feasible, and demonstrates equivalent histopathologic and on...

One of the major goals o f c u m n t robotics research is to create robotic systems which are able to react to sudden changes in the environment and in the tasks the systems perform, Sensors play a critic;; role in detecting the changes in the environment and in transnii!ting the relevant information to the robotic devices. This information must be evaluated in conjunction with the models of th...

Since the introduction of the da Vinci Surgical System first time in Korea at Yonsei University in 2005, more than 13,000 robot surgical cases were performed which is the most experience in the world. Current review of use of robotics in urology, focused on prostate cancer and kidney cancer. Yonsei’s experience of more than 4,800 cases of robotic urologic cases including 700 robotic kidney case...

Robotic surgery for the management of gynecologic cancers allows for minimally invasive surgical removal of cancer-bearing organs and tissues using sophisticated surgeon-manipulated, robotic surgical instrumentation. Early on, gynecologic oncologists recognized that minimally invasive surgery was associated with less surgical morbidity and that it shortened postoperative recovery. Now, robotic ...

EUROPA (External Use of Robotics for Payload Automation) is a robotic experiment formerly designed to fly on the International Space Station (ISS) and to perform a realistic end-to-end robotic technology demonstration in exposed environment. The overall scenario is depicted in Figure 1. The robotic workcell design includes: • the robotic arm, based on the existing ASI 7 dof SPIDER arm, used to ...

Minimally invasive surgeries started in 1980s'with endoscopic surgeries. In early 20 century, the robotic system was introduced to overcome some limitation of endoscopic surgeries and facilitate a laparoscopic approach to various robotic surgeries. The robotic system, da Vinci, first approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) robotic surgical system, provides a 3-dimensional view of the ope...

Robotic techniques have been developed to facilitate endoscopic surgery and to overcome its disadvantages. Thus, we performed robotic total mesorectal excison (TME) in a patient with rectal cancer, using the da Vinci(®) Surgical System. To our knowledge, this is the first robotic low anterior resection, based on standard TME principles, with pelvic autonomic nerve preservation. In conclusion, t...

Given the wide range and diversity of proposed architectures for autonomous robotic agents, an essential role can be played by a programming environment not hardwired to any particular architecture. This paper discusses the design of a programming environment for robotic systems, promoting rapid prototyping techniques for building diierent robotic architectures, while retaining a good eeciency ...

Robotic arm is a mechanical arm to perform the desired task. In today’s world there is an increasing need to create artificial arms for different inhuman situations where human interaction is difficult or impossible. Humans pick things up without thinking about the steps involved. So the robotic arm is controlled manually by using wired and wireless. In this paper, various methods were studied ...

Testing activity applied to mobile robotic systems is a challenge because new features, such as non-determinism of inputs, communication among components and time constraints must be considered. Simulation has been used to support the development and validation of these systems. Coverage testing criteria can contribute to this scenario adding mechanisms for measuring quality during the developm...
