This letter introduces a novel magnetically actuated bistable microgripper designed for stable cell manipulation. The microgripper integrates a bistable mechanism with soft gripping jaws and magnetic actuation to achieve high gripping stability, rapid responsiveness, and energy efficiency without co
Stereoscopic endoscopes are widely used in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, providing 3D information of the thoracic cavity through small incisions. However, current high-precision 3D perception methods often reduce the flexibility of the endoscope, limiting its field of view. This study proposes
Time series forecasting is crucial across various fields such as economics, energy, transportation planning, and weather prediction. Nevertheless, accurately modeling real-world systems is challenging due to their inherent complexity and non-stationarity. Traditional methods, which often depend on h…
In complex unstructured environments, accurate terrain traversability analysis is a fundamental requirement for the successful execution of any movements of ground robots, especially given that terrain traversability often exhibits anisotropy. However, the difficulty in obtaining multi-directional t…
Endoscopic robot has garnered significant attention for its ability to offer auxiliary traction and precise maneuverability. However, the low stiffness of its insertion tube makes it susceptible to deformation, which poses great challenges for precise control. Existing variable stiffness technologie
Extremely large-scale antenna array (ELAA) is a promising technique in 6G and autonomous driving thanks to its high spatial resolution. However, due to the extremely large array aperture, the sources may only "see" a portion of the array, called visibility region (VR). Since the information of VR is…
Low-shot (one/few-shot) segmentation has attracted increasing attention as it works well with limited annotation. State-of-the-art low-shot segmentation methods on natural images usually focus on implicit representation learning for each novel class, such as learning prototypes, deriving guidance fe…
Currently, optical tactile sensors propose solutions to measure contact forces at the tip of flexible medical instruments. However, the sensing capability of normal pressures applied to the surface along the tool body is still an open challenge. To deal with this challenge, this letter proposes a se
In recent years, robotic technology has been introduced to medical fields, and many surgical robots have been proposed for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, due to the limitations in dexterity imposed by surgical instruments and occlusion area, surgeons experience great difficulties during
We introduce a one-shot segmentation method to alleviate the burden of manual annotation for medical images. The main idea is to treat one-shot segmentation as a classical atlas-based segmentation problem, where voxel-wise correspondence from the atlas to the unlabelled data is learned. Subsequently…
