              The main direction is the study of sorbent adsorption,   medical robots isolates the surgeon’s tactile sensation from

            absorb uremic toxins. Historically, the exclusive sorbents   the  surgical  robot  with  on-site  surgeons  or  telesurgery
            system has been proven ineffective in binding and eliminating   through 5G communication technologies is required to
            urea. Hence, researchers have developed five types of sorbents,   hold or pull the tissue with proper force without secondary

            five types includes TPA-COF (covalent organic framework)   sensation technologies for the interaction between medical
            nanosheets and TPA-COF nanoparticle modified with -OH,   robots and soft tissue . The fundamental work of AI-ART

            which have been verified to have better urea adsorption based   for medical robots is undoubtedly the calibration of force

            search for more efficient materials relating to the development   multi-axis data and their mutual coupling. Deep learning
            of sorbents in three aspects: (1) Effective combination of   algorithms have been leveraged for the calibration of force
            candidate structures; (2) more reliable dynamics simulation   and torque sensors. On the basis of calibration works, the
