BACKGROUND: Robotic ophthalmic endoscope holders allow surgeons to execute dual-hand operations in eye surgery. To prevent needle-like endoscopes from invading the retina when moving, surgeons expect visual and real-time information about the relativ...
Our research presents a cost-effective navigation system for electric wheelchairs that utilizes the tongue as a human-machine interface (HMI) for disabled individuals. The user controls the movement of the wheelchair by wearing a small neodymium magn...
Flight control such as stable hovering and trajectory tracking of tailless flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles is a challenging task. Given the constraint on actuation capability, flight control authority is limited beyond sufficient lift generation....
Cable-driven continuum robots with hyper-redundant deformable backbones show great promise in applications, such as inspection in unstructured environments, where traditional rigid robots with discrete links and joints fail to operate. However, the m...
To provide a stable surgical view in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), it is necessary for a flexible endoscope applied in MIS to have adjustable stiffness to resist different external loads from surrounding organs and tissues. Pneumatic soft actuato...

BACKGROUND: Although various endoscopic surgery robots developed in previous studies are versatile and have high lesion accessibility, they have limitations in terms of reaching the target lesion through the curved path in the large intestine and pro...
Soft robots provide a pathway to accurately mimic biological creatures and be integrated into their environment with minimal invasion or disruption to their ecosystem. These robots made from soft deforming materials possess structural properties and ...
This work aimed to develop a real-time test platform for systems associated with the tactile internet area. The proposal comprises a master device, a communication channel and a slave device. The master device is a tactile glove (wearable technology)...
