Background
The use of external fixators to treat foot and ankle deformities remains a challenge in orthopedic surgery due to their diversity. We hope to improve the automation and accuracy of the correction process.
Methods
A three‐degree‐of‐freedom (3‐DOF) electromotor‐driven external fixator for uniplanar foot and ankle deformities was proposed. Computer‐assisted correction software was developed...
Background
Although some robotic systems have been developed to improve conventional flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), a widely used intervention in urology, these robots rarely have a comprehensive force feedback function which is important for master‐slave controlled surgical robots.
Methods
Here, we design and fabricate a novel FURS robot with a comprehensive force feedback function. Moreover, to...
Background
Robotic‐assisted cardiovascular interventional surgery is an effective means to reduce the exposure of X‐ray radiation to surgeons. However, some of the existing design structures cannot meet the surgical requirements for the coordinated delivery of multiple instruments or lack force sensing function.
Methods
This article proposes a novel cardiovascular interventional surgery robot,...
