Evaluation of a CT-Guided Robotic System for Precise Percutaneous Needle Insertion.

Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR
PURPOSE: To assess overall targeting accuracy for CT-guided needle insertion using prototype robotic system for common target sites.

Evaluation of a novel automated water analyzer for continuous monitoring of toxicity and chemical parameters in municipal water supply.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
A novel tool, the DAMTA analyzer (Device for Analytical Monitoring and Toxicity Assessment), designed for fully automated toxicity measurements based on luminescent bacteria as well as for concomitant determination of chemical parameters, was develop...

A new approach for safe planning transfer using semi-automatically adjustable instrument guides.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Accurate planning transfer is a prerequisite for successful operative care. For different applications, diverse computer-assisted systems have been developed and clinically evaluated. This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a new mod...

The Engineering of Chemical Synthesis: Humans and Machines Working in Harmony.

Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)
"Chemical synthesis has previously tended to rely heavily on robust labour-intensive processes. We have been advocating a machine-assisted approach to synthesis for many years. To replace a bench chemist with a machine is not only unrealistic but imp...

A dual caudal-fin miniature robotic fish with an integrated oscillation and jet propulsive mechanism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents the development of a biomimetic robotic fish that uses an integrated oscillation and jet propulsive mechanism to enable good swimming performance for small robotic fish. The designed robotic fish is driven by two caudal fins that ...

The future of the provision process for mobility assistive technology: a survey of providers.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the opinions of providers of mobility assistive technologies to help inform a research agenda and set priorities.

Flexible robotic catheters in the visceral segment of the aorta: advantages and limitations.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery
Flexible robotic catheters are an emerging technology which provide an elegant solution to the challenges of conventional endovascular intervention. Originally developed for interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures, remotely steerab...

Development of a New Robotic Ankle Rehabilitation Platform for Hemiplegic Patients after Stroke.

Journal of healthcare engineering
A large amount of hemiplegic survivors are suffering from motor impairment. Ankle rehabilitation exercises act an important role in recovering patients' walking ability after stroke. Currently, patients mainly perform ankle exercise to reobtain range...

Towards Optimal Platform-Based Robot Design for Ankle Rehabilitation: The State of the Art and Future Prospects.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This review aims to compare existing robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techniques in terms of robot design. Included studies mainly consist of selected papers in two published reviews involving a variety of robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techn...

Computational Sensing of Staphylococcus aureus on Contact Lenses Using 3D Imaging of Curved Surfaces and Machine Learning.

ACS nano
We present a cost-effective and portable platform based on contact lenses for noninvasively detecting Staphylococcus aureus, which is part of the human ocular microbiome and resides on the cornea and conjunctiva. Using S. aureus-specific antibodies a...
