Analysis of operational comfort in manual tasks using human force manipulability measure.

IEEE transactions on haptics
This paper proposes a scheme for human force manipulability (HFM) based on the use of isometric joint torque properties to simulate the spatial characteristics of human operation forces at an end-point of a limb with feasible magnitudes for a specifi...

Towards cybernetic surgery: robotic and augmented reality-assisted liver segmentectomy.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
BACKGROUND: Augmented reality (AR) in surgery consists in the fusion of synthetic computer-generated images (3D virtual model) obtained from medical imaging preoperative workup and real-time patient images in order to visualize unapparent anatomical ...

A novel EOG/EEG hybrid human-machine interface adopting eye movements and ERPs: application to robot control.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This study presents a novel human-machine interface (HMI) based on both electrooculography (EOG) and electroencephalography (EEG). This hybrid interface works in two modes: an EOG mode recognizes eye movements such as blinks, and an EEG mode detects ...

Sub-processes of motor learning revealed by a robotic manipulandum for rodents.

Behavioural brain research
Rodent models are widely used to investigate neural changes in response to motor learning. Usually, the behavioral readout of motor learning tasks used for this purpose is restricted to a binary measure of performance (i.e. "successful" movement vs. ...

European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons (EAES) consensus statement on the use of robotics in general surgery.

Surgical endoscopy
Following an extensive literature search and a consensus conference with subject matter experts the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. Robotic surgery is still at its infancy, and there is a great potential in sophisticated electromechanical syst...

Comparison of CT Fluoroscopy-Guided Manual and CT-Guided Robotic Positioning System for In Vivo Needle Placements in Swine Liver.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: To compare CT fluoroscopy-guided manual and CT-guided robotic positioning system (RPS)-assisted needle placement by experienced IR physicians to targets in swine liver.

Domesticating the Drone: The Demilitarisation of Unmanned Aircraft for Civil Markets.

Science and engineering ethics
Remotely piloted aviation systems (RPAS) or 'drones' are well known for their military applications, but could also be used for a range of non-military applications for state, industrial, commercial and recreational purposes. The technology is advanc...
