Mechanism design and force sensing of a novel cardiovascular interventional surgery robot.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted cardiovascular interventional surgery is an effective means to reduce the exposure of X-ray radiation to surgeons. However, some of the existing design structures cannot meet the surgical requirements for the coordinated ...

Design and analysis of a wireless power transfer system for capsule robot using an optimised planar square spiral transmitting coil pair.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The wireless power transfer system (WPTS) is a promising way to continuously provide efficient and stable power for gastrointestinal capsule robots with active movement ability.

Robotic system with programmable motion constraint for transurethral resection.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: We propose a tele-operated transurethral robotic system with programmable motion constraint for tissue resection.

Intuitive master device for endoscopic robots with visual-motor correspondence.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Master devices exclusively used for endoscopes with position control are being developed as an isomorphic form of endoscopes. These master devices are difficult to intuitively operate because the movement direction of the endoscopic image...

Design and experimental validation of a master manipulator with position and posture decoupling for laparoscopic surgical robot.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The master manipulator with position and posture decoupling and force feedback can improve the immersion of the operation, and the gravity balance can reduce the fatigue of surgeons.

Functionalized Spiral-Rolling Millirobot for Upstream Swimming in Blood Vessel.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Untethered small robots with multiple functions show considerable potential as next-generation catheter-free systems for biomedical applications. However, owing to dynamic blood flow, even effective upstream swimming in blood vessels remains a challe...

Pump Up the Jam: Granular Media as a Quasi-Hydraulic Fluid for Independent Control Over Isometric and Isotonic Actuation.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Elastomer-granule composites have been used to switch between soft and stiff states by applying negative pressure differentials that cause the membrane to squeeze the internal grains, inducing dilation and jamming. Applications of this phenomenon hav...

Stiffness-Tunable Soft Gripper with Soft-Rigid Hybrid Actuation for Versatile Manipulations.

Soft robotics
Highly flexible and environmentally adaptive soft robots have received considerable attention. There remains a demand for soft robots to realize the stiffness modulation and variable workspace for robust and versatile manipulations. This article pres...

Marine Robotics for Deep-Sea Specimen Collection: A Taxonomy of Underwater Manipulative Actions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In order to develop a gripping system or control strategy that improves scientific sampling procedures, knowledge of the process and the consequent definition of requirements is fundamental. Nevertheless, factors influencing sampling procedures have ...

Internet of Things with Deep Learning-Based Face Recognition Approach for Authentication in Control Medical Systems.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Internet of Things (IoT) with deep learning (DL) is drastically growing and plays a significant role in many applications, including medical and healthcare systems. It can help users in this field get an advantage in terms of enhanced touchless authe...
