Cruciate-Ligament-Inspired Compliant Joints: Application to 3D-Printed Continuum Surgical Robots.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The rapid development of additive manufacturing technology makes it possible to fabricate a patient-specific surgical robot in a short time. To simplify the assembly process of the printed robotic system, compliant-joint-based monolithic structures a...

Development of a tendon driven robotic probe for prostate palpation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Palpation is a clinical diagnosis method utilized by physicians to acquire valuable information about the pathological condition of an organ using the sense of touch. This method, however, is subjective. The accuracy depends on the physician's experi...

A flexible self-recovery finger joint for a tendon-driven robot hand.

The Review of scientific instruments
This paper presents a new biomimetic soft finger joint with elastic ligaments for enhanced restoration capability. A hemisphere-shaped flexible finger joint is designed to secure omnidirectional restoration and guarantee a reliable recovery function....

Automatic Tracking of the Muscle Tendon Junction in Healthy and Impaired Subjects using Deep Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Recording muscle tendon junction displacements during movement, allows separate investigation of the muscle and tendon behaviour, respectively. In order to provide a fully-automatic tracking method, we employ a novel deep learning approach to detect ...

Autonomous Control of a Tendon-driven Robotic Limb with Elastic Elements Reveals that Added Elasticity can Enhance Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Passive elastic elements can contribute to stability, energetic efficiency, and impact absorption in both biological and robotic systems. They also add dynamical complexity which makes them more challenging to model and control. The impact of this ad...
