The particularly compliant and adaptable properties of soft robotic systems and structures offer enormous potential for use in unpredictable environments as well as for safe and interactive work in human environments. Therefore, new approaches for the design of soft robotic systems are constantly be…
With the patented method of Navigated Control active surgical instruments can be stopped before they endanger delicate and sensitive tissue such as nerves and vessels. To this end, a stereo camera tracks the positions of instrument and patient, a computer then measures the distance to the patient st…
The use of flexure hinges offers significant benefits compared to conventional revolute joints, such as the use for compact monolithic designs of flexural structures, no friction losses and reduced assembly and manufacturing costs. The combination of this design concept with additive manufacturing (…
