Background
Remote‐controlled robotic vascular interventional surgery can reduce radiation exposure to interventional physicians and improve safety. However, inconvenient operation and lack of force feedback limit its application.
Materials and Methods
A new wearable robotic system for vascular interventional surgery is designed, which is more flexible in operation. It ensures the safety of surgery...
Background
This study aims to develop a new dental implant robotic system (DIRS) to relieve the burden and enhance the quality of dental implant surgery.
Methods
The implanting actuator and system controller are two parts. The implanting actuator is designed on the basis of the RCM mechanism, with its kinematics modelled. Besides, a multi‐DOF admittance control strategy and a hybrid position‐admittance...
Background
Cochlear‐implant electrode arrays (EAs) are currently inserted with limited feedback, and impedance sensing has recently shown promise for EA localisation.
Methods
We investigate the use of impedance sensing to infer the progression of an EA during insertion.
Results
We show that the access resistance component of bipolar impedance sensing can detect when a straight EA reaches key...
