A Generalized Modeling Approach to Liquid-driven Ballooning Membranes
Mirroyal Ismayilov, Jeref Merlin, Christos Bergeles +1
Soft robotics is advancing the use of flexible materials for adaptable robotic systems. Membrane-actuated soft robots address the limitations of traditional soft robots by using pr…
Organ Shape Sensing using Pneumatically Attachable Flexible Rails in Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery
Aoife McDonald-Bowyer, Solène Dietsch, Emmanouil Dimitrakakis +4
In robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy, surgeons remove a part of a kidney often due to the presence of a mass. A drop-in ultrasound probe paired to a surgical robot is deployed t…
Design and Evaluation of the SoftSCREEN Capsule for Colonoscopy
Vanni Consumi, Lukas Lindenroth, Jeref Merlin +2
Colonoscopy is considered the golden standard for cancer screening of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, with screening programs all over the world considering lowering the rec…
Towards intrinsic force sensing and control in parallel soft robots
Lukas Lindenroth, Danail Stoyanov, Kawal Rhode +1
With soft robotics being increasingly employed in settings demanding high and controlled contact forces, recent research has demonstrated the use of soft robots to estimate or intr…
Design and integration of a parallel, soft robotic end-effector for extracorporeal ultrasound
Lukas Lindenroth, Richard James Housden, Shuangyi Wang +3
Objective: In this work we address limitations in state-of-the-art ultrasound robots by designing and integrating a novel soft robotic system for ultrasound imaging. It employs the…
Robotic-assisted Ultrasound for Fetal Imaging: Evolution from Single-arm to Dual-arm System
Shuangyi Wang, James Housden, Yohan Noh +20
The development of robotic-assisted extracorporeal ultrasound systems has a long history and a number of projects have been proposed since the 1990s focusing on different technical…
