UNLABELLED: Steerable needles have the potential for accurate needle tip placement even when the optimal path to a target tissue is curvilinear, thanks to their ability to steer, which is an essential function to avoid piercing through vital anatomic...
This article investigates optimal regulation scheme between tumor and immune cells based on the adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) approach. The therapeutic goal is to inhibit the growth of tumor cells to allowable injury degree and maximize the numb...

At present, most vascular intervention robots cannot cope with the more common coronary complex lesions in the clinic. Moreover, the lack of effective force feedback increases the risk of surgery. In this paper, a vascular interventional robot that c...
This paper presents a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller for controlling the gait of a miniature, foldable quadruped robot with individually actuated and controlled legs (MinIAQ-III). The controller is implemented on a palm-size robot made by...
