Abstract: Robotic-assisted lumbar puncture (LP) has been explored in recent years. The most important step in this procedure is accurately and safely puncturing the spinal membrane (dura mater) based on an automatic needle insertion ...

Abstract: Abstract. Effective lubrication is essential for the helicopter transmission system to ensure smooth power transfer, reduce friction, and prevent overheating. However, churning loss caused by interactions between lubricating ...

Abstract: The tracking performance of piezoelectric nanopositioning stages is vital in many applications, such as scanning probe microscopes (SPMs). Although modified repetitive control (MRC) can improve tracking performance for ...

Abstract: The manipulating objects of the micron scale are easily damaged, hence the microgrippers, the key components in micro manipulating systems, demand precise force control, plus miniaturized size. Consequently, the constant ...

Abstract: Abstract. Robotic-assisted lumbar puncture (LP) has demonstrated significant advantages over manual procedures in terms of accuracy and repeatability, with robotic-assisted needle insertion devices (RNIDs) serving as the ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of an exploratory study on differences in driving characteristics between normal and emergency situations and builds up the car-following model under the emergency evacuation situation. The ...
