Single-Insertion Deployment of Multimodal Fingerprinted Fiducial Markers for Enhanced SBRT Guidance
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) relies on precise tumor targeting, enabled by the use of fiducial markers. However, conventional marker placement through multiple rigid needle insertions presents risks and ... -
Feasibility Evaluation of a Prototype Automated Multitask Urine Robotic System for Intensive Care Unit Urine Management
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Manual urine bag management in intensive care units (ICUs) is labor-intensive and poses infection risks due to handling urine, necessitating automated solutions to enhance efficiency and safety. This study develops ... -
A Home Device for Improved Ankle Dorsiflexion Rehabilitation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Reduced ankle dorsiflexion may result in increased fall risk, reduced walking speed, increased risk of knee pain and injury, and compensatory gait, making it a common target for physical therapy. The primary ... -
An Automatic Needle Biopsy Sampling Device With Enhanced Tissue Penetration and Precision Sampling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Incidence rates of thyroid cancer have been rising annually worldwide over the past two decades, establishing it as one of the most rapidly increasing malignant tumors. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration ... -
AR-CPR 2.0: Validation of the Accuracy and Precision of a Wearable Coaching System for Improving Chest Compression Performance
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality remains inconsistent, with low adherence to guideline-recommended compression rate and depth. Augmented reality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (AR-CPR) is an ... -
Design and Implementation of a Handheld Steerable Surgical Device for Minimally Invasive Surgeries
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Pursuing minimal invasiveness is a trend in the development of modern surgeries as smaller size of incision reduces blood loss and postoperative hospitalization stay. This poses high requirement on surgical devices ... -
