A miniature robotic steerable endoscope for maxillary sinus surgery called PliENT.
Scientific reports
Feb 10, 2022
In endoscopic maxillary sinus surgery, the maxillary sinus is accessed through the nasal cavity which constitutes a narrow and tortuous pathway. However, surgeons still use rigid endoscopes and rigid, straight or pre-bent instruments for this procedu...
Deep learning-based reconstruction in ultra-high-resolution computed tomography: Can image noise caused by high definition detector and the miniaturization of matrix element size be improved?
Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
Jan 13, 2021
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the noise characteristics of ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (UHRCT) with deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR).
Design, characterization and optimization of a soft fluidic actuator for minimally invasive surgery.
International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
Oct 23, 2019
PURPOSE: In minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy, the rise of soft robotics, using materials of similar softness as biological soft tissues, opens many new opportunities. Soft actuated catheters could become an alternative to current steerable ca...
Integrated Robotic Mini Bioreactor Platform for Automated, Parallel Microbial Cultivation With Online Data Handling and Process Control.
SLAS technology
Jul 9, 2019
During process development, the experimental search space is defined by the number of experiments that can be performed in specific time frames but also by its sophistication (e.g., inputs, sensors, sampling frequency, analytics). High-throughput liq...
Real-time microrobot posture recognition via biplane X-ray imaging system for external electromagnetic actuation.
International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
Aug 20, 2018
PURPOSE: As a promising intravascular therapeutic approach for autonomous catheterization, especially for thrombosis treatment, a microrobot or robotic catheter driven by an external electromagnetic actuation system has been recently investigated. Ho...

The design and control of untethered microrobotic agents has drawn a lot of attention in recent years. This technology truly possesses the potential to revolutionize the field of minimally invasive surgery and microassembly. However, miniaturization ...
Endomicroscopy for Computer and Robot Assisted Intervention.
IEEE reviews in biomedical engineering
Mar 22, 2017
Endomicroscopy is a new technique that allows human tissue to be characterized in vivo and in situ, circumventing the need for conventional biopsy and histology. Despite increased application and growing research interests in this area, the clinical ...
Biodegradable microrobots for targeting cell delivery.
Medical hypotheses
Feb 28, 2017
These days, cell delivery is considered a potential method for treatment of many genetic diseases or tissue regeneration applications. In conventional cell delivery methods, cells are encapsulated in or cultured on biocompatible polymers. However, th...
Current and emerging robotic assisted intervention for Notes.
Expert review of medical devices
Nov 10, 2016
Natural orifices transluminal endoscopic surgery (notes) procedures are limited by a number of factors including closure of the internal entry point, loss of triangulation, and unstable operative platform. Areas covered: In this paper, new technical ...
Single actuator wave-like robot (SAW): design, modeling, and experiments.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 1, 2016
In this paper, we present a single actuator wave-like robot, a novel bioinspired robot which can move forward or backward by producing a continuously advancing wave. The robot has a unique minimalistic mechanical design and produces an advancing sine...
