Experimental study of the optimum puncture pattern of robot-assisted needle insertion into hyperelastic materials.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
The robot-assisted insertion surgery plays a crucial role in biopsy and therapy. This study focuses on determining the optimum puncture pattern for robot-assisted insertion, aiming at the matching problem of needle insertion parameters, thereby to re...

Pure transoral robotic thyroidectomy; institutional adaptation and early results from a tertiary endocrine surgery centre.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
PURPOSE: Novel thyroidectomy techniques have been described to minimize the visible scar. Hereby, we aim to present our experience with transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) without axillary access.

Adding Haptic Feedback to Virtual Environments With a Cable-Driven Robot Improves Upper Limb Spatio-Temporal Parameters During a Manual Handling Task.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Physical interactions within virtual environments are often limited to visual information within a restricted workspace. A new system exploiting a cable-driven parallel robot to combine visual and haptic information related to environmental physical ...

An Integrated Multi-Sensor Network for Adaptive Grasping of Fragile Fruits: Design and Feasibility Tests.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Secure grasping of fragile fruits and other agricultural products without potential slip and damage is still a challenge due to the size and shape varying, bruise susceptible, as well as hardness changing during fruit and vegetable maturation. In the...

Robotic Retinal Surgery Impacts on Scleral Forces: In Vivo Study.

Translational vision science & technology
PURPOSE: This study aims to map force interaction between instrument and sclera of in vivo rabbits during retinal procedures, and verify if a robotic active force control could prevent unwanted increase of forces on the sclera.

Robotic environmental DNA bio-surveillance of freshwater health.

Scientific reports
Autonomous water sampling technologies may help to overcome the human resource challenges of monitoring biological threats to rivers over long time periods and across large geographic areas. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has pioneered ...

Accurate 3D-dose-based generation of MLC segments for robotic radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Radiotherapy treatment planning requires accurate modeling of the delivered patient dose, including radiation scatter effects, multi-leaf collimator (MLC) leaf transmission, interleaf-leakage, etc. In fluence map optimization (FMO), a simple dose mod...
