Needle-Size Bending Actuators Based on Controlled Nitinol Curvatures and Elastic Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surgical navigation of small lumens during surgery is a challenging task, requiring expert knowledge and dexterity. The challenge pertains to the manipulation of the distal tip (inside the patient) from the proximal end ...
Origami-Layer-Jamming Deployable Surgical Retractor With Variable Stiffness and Tactile Sensing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origami-based flexible, compliant, and bio-inspired robots are believed to permit a range of medical applications within confined environments. In this article, we experimentally demonstrated an origami-inspired deployable ...
