Lipomas of the upper lip are among the rarest adipose tissue neoplasms in the oral cavity. The standard treatment for lipomas involves surgical removal, which can be performed using conventional or laser techniques. This case report discusses a 71-year-old male patient with swelling on the left side of his upper lip, clinically diagnosed as an oral lipoma. The lesion was surgically removed under local anesthesia using a combination of diode laser surgery and a blunt scalpel. This approach facilitated the complete removal of the lesion with reduced operating time, minimal damage to surrounding tissues, and uneventful postoperative healing. Diode laser surgery for benign lipomas presents an effective alternative to traditional methods. The precision and minimal tissue damage it offers are particularly beneficial in aesthetic areas, such as the lips.

High-speed walking is fundamental for humanoid robots to quickly reach the work site in emergency scenarios. According to biological studies, the coordinated motion of the arms and waist can significantly enhance walking speed and stability in humans. However, existing humanoid robot walking control frameworks predominantly focus on leg control, often overlooking the utilization of upper body joints.
