Soft actuators in surgical robotics: a state-of-the-art reviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2023
Hugo Rodrigue, Jongwoo Kim
Soft surgical robots represent a groundbreaking innovation in the field of
medical technology. These robots utilize soft, deformable materials to navigate
and interact with delicate structures inside the human body, such as organs and
blood vessels, with enhanced safety. They have the potential to transform
healthcare by expanding the capabilities of minimally invasive surgeries,

Accuracy enhancement for the front-end tracking algorithm of RGB-D SLAMSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 207-218 - 2019
Fuwen Hu, Jingli Cheng, Yunchang Bao, Yunhua He
A robust and accurate simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in working
scenarios is an essential competence to perform mobile robotic tasks
autonomously. Plenty of research indicates that the extraction of point features
from RGB-D data that simultaneously take into account the images and the depth
data increases the robustness and precision of the visual odometry method, used
either as a s... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of duality-based interconnected kinematics of planar serial and parallel manipulators using screw theorySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 47-62 - 2019
Hashim Iqbal, Muhammad Umair Ahmad Khan, Byung-Ju Yi
In this paper, a method has been proposed to analyze the planar architectures of
serial and parallel manipulators, based on the duality associated with their
interconnected kinematics. The interconnected kinematics states that model of
one architecture can be derived from the kinematic model of the other, using
screw theory approach. The performance of the initial and the derived
manipulators was ... hiện toàn bộ
SMA micro-hand implemented in small robot for generating gesturesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 Số 3 - Trang 399-408 - 2021
Takumi Ishikawa, Shuichi Nagasawa
AbstractResearch on robots that can be used for communication with humans has
become popular in recent years. Communication robots should ideally be as small
as an infant in order to reduce the user’s feeling of threat. In addition,
non-verbal communication (such as gestures) is also important in facilitating
smooth interactions between humans and robots. There are currently a few
communication ro... hiện toàn bộ
Real-time arm motion imitation for human–robot tangible interfaceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 61-69 - 2009
Yukyung Choi, SyungKwon Ra, Soowhan Kim, Sung-Kee Park
In this paper we deal with a remote meeting system with tangible interface, in
which a robot is used as tangible avatar instead of a remote meeting partner.
For realizing such system, it is a critical issue how the robot imitates human
motions with natural and exact. So, we suggested a new method that human arm
motion is captured with a stereo vision system and transferred to the robotic
avatar wi... hiện toàn bộ
Vision-based navigation with efficient scene recognitionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 191-202 - 2011
Jungho Kim, Chaehoon Park, In So Kweon
In this paper, we propose an efficient feature matching method for scene
recognition and global localization. The proposed method enables mobile robots
to autonomously navigate through the dynamic environment where the robot
frequently encounters visual occlusion and kidnapping. For this purpose, we
present a scale optimization method to enhance the matching performance with the
combination of the... hiện toàn bộ
