A Robotic System With a Bendable Catheter for Laparoendoscopic Single Site Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robotic laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) is emerging as a hot research topic with the advancement of robotics. However, the movement of the rigid catheter inserted through a fixed incision into the patient's ...
An Ergonomic Flexible Multi-Fire Clip Applier With Multiple Degrees-of-Freedom for Minimally Invasive Surgery to Improve Hemostatic Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hemorrhage can lead to shock and even death of patients, making one of the main risks in surgical procedures. Most traditional clip appliers are rigid, have limited flexibility, and can only fire a single clip within each ...
A Specimen Extraction Instrument Based on Braided Fiber Tube for Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has offered significant advantages of less pain, reduced recovery time, and minimized scar after operation, demonstrating a promising development prospect. However, ...
Kinematic Design of a Generalized Double Parallelogram Based Remote Center-of-Motion Mechanism for Minimally Invasive Surgical Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Self-Forcing Mechanism of the Braided Tube as a Robotic Gripper
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robotic grippers, which act as the end effector and contact the objects directly, play a crucial role in the performance of the robots. In this paper, we design and analyze a new robotic gripper based on the braided tube. ...
