Elastomer-based soft manipulators, featuring fibre-reinforced chambers, represent a prevalent design paradigm in the field of soft robotics. These robots incorporate multiple reinforced actuation chambers, enabling robust elongation and omni-directional bending motions. However, the inherent complia…
Right heart catheterization (RHC) is a critical procedure for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, congenital heart disease, pulmonary edema, and pulmonary hypertension. However, currently prevalent manual RHC procedures requires continuous communication of clinicia…
Force feedback is of importance in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) as it reduces surgical risks and enhances surgical safety. However, equipping force sensing to the tip of surgical instruments presents challenges due to their diminutive dimensions and often curved shapes. To address this issue, a
Soft robotic structures may play a major role in the 4th industrial revolution. Researchers have successfully demonstrated the advantages of soft robotics over traditional robots made of rigid links and joints in many application areas. Variable stiffness links (VSL) and joints (VSJ) have been inves…
