Optimization of an Augmented R-CUBE mechanism for Cervical Surgery
Terence Essomba, Yu-Wen Wu, Abdelbadia Chaker +1
In some surgical operations targeting the spine, it is required to drill cavities in the vertebrae for the insertion of pedicle screws. A new mechanical architecture is proposed fo…
A novel Integrated Motion Tracking Device (IMTD) for Objective Laparoscopic Training Assessment: Development and Validation
Siwar Bouzid, Abdelbadia Chaker, Marc Arsicault +2
This paper presents a novel, compact four-degree-of-freedom motion-tracking device (IMTD) designed for training and evaluation in laparoscopic surgery. The device's kinematics, mec…
Feasible Static Workspace Optimization of Tendon Driven Continuum Robot based on Euclidean norm
Mohammad Jabari, Carmen Visconte, Giuseppe Quaglia +1
This paper focuses on the optimal design of a tendon-driven continuum robot (TDCR) based on its feasible static workspace (FSW). The TDCR under consideration is a two-segment robot…
Primary Experimental Feedback on a Co-manipulated Robotic System for Assisted Cervical Surgery
Seifeddine Sellemi, Abdelbadia Chaker, Tanguy Vendeuvre +2
Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as a promising approach to improve surgical ergonomics, precision, and workflow efficiency, particularly in complex procedures such as cervical…
