PURPOSE: As a promising intravascular therapeutic approach for autonomous catheterization, especially for thrombosis treatment, a microrobot or robotic catheter driven by an external electromagnetic actuation system has been recently investigated. Ho...
Magnetically actuated soft robots may improve the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Significant progress has been made in the development of soft robotic systems that steer catheters. A more challenging task, however, is the develo...

A motion unit for sucking robot with a stable motion, convenient operation and process simulation is introduced. The key parameters and process data of the sucking operation were obtained from the clinical work, which provided the basis for the desig...
Artery perforation during a vascular catheterization procedure is a potentially life threatening event. It is of particular importance for the surgeons to be aware of hidden or non-obvious events. To minimize the impact it is crucial for the surgeon ...

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a vision threatening condition occurring in the central or the branch retinal veins. Risk factors include but are not limited to hypercoagulability, thrombus or other cause of low blood flow. Current clinically proven ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted retinal vein cannulation with Ocriplasmin infusion for central retinal vein occlusion.
Millirobots that can adapt to unstructured environments, operate in confined spaces, and interact with a diverse range of objects would be desirable for exploration and biomedical applications. The continued development of millirobots, however, requi...
IMPORTANCE: Before the widespread implementation of robotic systems to provide patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic occurs, it is important to understand the acceptability of these systems among patients and the economic consequences associated ...
