Kinematic and Workspace Analysis of the Master Robot in the Sina Robotic Telesurgery System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic telesurgery systems, including master and slave robots, have emerged in recent years to provide benefits for both surgeons and patients. Surgeons use the master manipulator to navigate the slave robot. The Sina telesurgery system introduced r...

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Novel Vascular Robotic System for Complex Percutaneous Coronary Interventions.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention is an emerging technology with great potential to solve the shortcomings of existing treatments. However, the current robotic systems can not manipulate two guidewires or ballons/stents simultan...

Cruciate-Ligament-Inspired Compliant Joints: Application to 3D-Printed Continuum Surgical Robots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The rapid development of additive manufacturing technology makes it possible to fabricate a patient-specific surgical robot in a short time. To simplify the assembly process of the printed robotic system, compliant-joint-based monolithic structures a...

[Biomedical applications of bionic untethered micro-nano robots].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Bionic untethered micro-nano robots, due to their advantages of small size, low weight, large thrust-to-weight ratio, strong wireless mobility, high flexibility and high sensitivity, have very important application values in the fields of biomedicine...

Stretchable origami robotic arm with omnidirectional bending and twisting.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Inspired by the embodied intelligence observed in octopus arms, we introduce magnetically controlled origami robotic arms based on Kresling patterns for multimodal deformations, including stretching, folding, omnidirectional bending, and twisting. Th...

Hysteresis modeling and compensation of a rotary series elastic actuator with nonlinear stiffness.

The Review of scientific instruments
Series elastic actuators (SEAs) have widely been adapted in robots where safe human-robot interaction is required for accurate and robust force control. Recent research on the SEAs has shown that the SEA with a user-defined variable stiffness possess...

Assessment of Muscle Activation of Caregivers Performing Dependent Transfers With a Novel Robotic-Assisted Transfer Device Compared With the Hoyer Advance.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity in caregivers while using a novel robotic-assisted transfer device (Strong Arm) to a clinical standard of care (Hoyer Advance).

Soft robotic steerable microcatheter for the endovascular treatment of cerebral disorders.

Science robotics
Catheters used for endovascular navigation in interventional procedures lack dexterity at the distal tip. Neurointerventionists, in particular, encounter challenges in up to 25% of aneurysm cases largely due to the inability to steer and navigate the...

Low-cost smartphone-based LIBS combined with deep learning image processing for accurate lithology recognition.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)
A low-cost and multi-channel smartphone-based spectrometer was developed for LIBS. As the CMOS detector is two-dimensional, simultaneous multichannel detection was achieved by coupling a linear array of fibres for light collection. Thus, besides the ...
