PurposeMinimally invasive cochlear implant surgery is a challenging procedure due to high demands on accuracy. For clinical success, an according assistance system has to compete against the traditional approach in terms of risk, operating time and cost. It has not yet been determined what kind of system is the most suited. The purpose of this study is a proof of concept of surgical process modeling...
Malunion after forearm fractures are described to appear in 2% to 10% of cases. Reconstructive surgeries ensure adequate anatomical repositioning. Their importance derives from the fact that malunion can often lead to severe pain as well as deformities causing loss of function and aesthetic issues not only in the forearm, but also the wrist and elbow joint.In this paper a clinical case will be presented...
The ability to sense tactile feedback is important for many robotic grasping and manipulating tasks. However, common force sensors are expensive. Therefore, we investigate various force measuring principles and review existing sensor concepts for mobile robotic applications. The results lead to a concept of a low-cost, two-finger manipulator with force sensing ability using embedded hall sensors in...
As robots make their way into our everyday lives, new behavioral concepts are needed to assure their acceptance as interaction partners. In the presence of humans, robots are required to take safety as well as human comfort into account. This paper presents a novel, planning-based approach for social robot navigation. It uses predicted human trajectories and a social cost function to plan collision-free...
