RISDesign of a Two Degree-of-Freedom Compliant Tool Tip for a Handheld Powered Surgical Tool
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel monobloc design of a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) compliant tool tip for a handheld powered surgical tool is presented in this paper. The monobloc tool tip can pitch and yaw using corner-filleted flexure hinge-based ...
A Novel Design for a Compliant Mechanism Based Variable Stiffness Grasper Through Structure Modulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robots utilize graspers for interacting with an environment. Conventional robotic graspers have difficulty conforming to objects of varied shape and exerting varying grasping forces. Variable stiffness soft robotic graspers ...
CLEANSurgiTip: A Contamination Limiting, Expendable, and Novel Surgical Tooltip for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Over the last two decades, robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has become more accessible and has contributed to improved patient outcomes. However, its adoption in resource-constrained environments is limited due ...
A Practical Approach to the Design and Development of Tele-Operated Surgical Robots for Resource Constrained Environments—A Case Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tele-operation has brought about a paradigm shift in the way minimally invasive surgeries are carried out. Several tele-operated robotic systems have been developed in the last three decades. In this research work, we ...
