Autonomous Robotic Tissue Palpation and Abnormalities Characterisation via Ergodic Exploration
Luca Beber, Edoardo Lamon, Matteo Saveriano +2
We propose a novel autonomous robotic palpation framework for real-time elastic mapping during tissue exploration using a viscoelastic tissue model. The method combines force-based…
Force-Based Viscosity and Elasticity Measurements for Material Biomechanical Characterisation with a Collaborative Robotic Arm
Luca Beber, Edoardo Lamon, Giacomo Moretti +4
Diagnostic activities, such as ultrasound scans and palpation, are relatively low-cost. They play a crucial role in the early detection of health problems and in assessing their pr…
Towards Robotised Palpation for Cancer Detection through Online Tissue Viscoelastic Characterisation with a Collaborative Robotic Arm
Luca Beber, Edoardo Lamon, Giacomo Moretti +3
This paper introduces a new method for estimating the penetration of the end effector and the parameters of a soft body using a collaborative robotic arm. This is possible using th…
Elasticity Measurements of Expanded Foams using a Collaborative Robotic Arm
Luca Beber, Edoardo Lamon, Luigi Palopoli +3
Medical applications of robots are increasingly popular to objectivise and speed up the execution of several types of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Particularly importa…
A Passive Variable Impedance Control Strategy with Viscoelastic Parameters Estimation of Soft Tissues for Safe Ultrasonography
Luca Beber, Edoardo Lamon, Davide Nardi +3
In the context of telehealth, robotic approaches have proven a valuable solution to in-person visits in remote areas, with decreased costs for patients and infection risks. In part…
