Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.In this multicenter, propensity score–matched study of elderly patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma, we compared long‐term cause‐specific mortality between laparoscopic (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR) using a competing‐risks framework. Among patients aged ≥ 80 years, LLR was associated with a lower 5‐year cumulative incidence of death ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Towards Human‐Centered Intelligent Inhabitable Spaces: A Review
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review introduces Robot‐Rooms as a new category of architectural‐scale robots that do not operate within a space but actively form and reconfigure the space around their occupants. Drawing from robotics, HCI, architecture, and the arts, an interdisciplinary framework is proposed that maps the enabling technologies and integration challenges ...
