Design and Development of a Novel Force-Sensing Robotic System for the Transseptal Puncture in Left Atrial Catheter Ablation

ICRA 2023poster

Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a prerequisite for left atrial catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, requiring access from the right side of the heart. It is a demanding procedural step associated with complications, including inadvertent puncturing and application of large forces on the tissue w…

A2-piece six-axis force/torque sensor capable of measuring loads applied to tools of complex shapes

IROS 2019poster

Measuring forces and torques applied to tools of unconventional shapes can be challenging due to difficulties in connecting commercially available force/torque sensors. We propose an innovative, customizable six-axis force/torque sensor which can be clamped around a tool or end-effector to minimize…

A soft three axis force sensor useful for robot grippers

IROS 2016poster

A novel three axis force sensor, based on magnetic flux measurements, was used in the fingers of a gripper. The force sensor uses three Hall Effect sensors orthogonally placed at the base of a hemisphere made of silicon rubber. A neodymium permanent magnet was inside the hemisphere. When a force was…

Stiffness-based modelling of a hydraulically-actuated soft robotics manipulator

IROS 2016poster

This work investigates the applicability of stiffness-based modelling in soft robotics manipulation. The methodology is introduced and applied to model a soft robotics manipulator as single 3d Timoshenko beam element. The model is then utilized to solve the forward kinematics problem for the manipul…

Tendon-Based Stiffening for a Pneumatically Actuated Soft Manipulator

RA-L 2016

There is an emerging trend toward soft robotics due to its extended manipulation capabilities compared to traditionally rigid robot links, showing promise for an extended applicability to new areas. However, as a result of the inherent property of soft robotics being less rigid, the ability to contr

Tendon and pressure actuation for a bio-inspired manipulator based on an antagonistic principle

ICRA 2015poster

This paper proposes a soft, inflatable manipulator that is antagonistically actuated by tendons and pneumatics. The combination of the two actuation mechanisms in this antagonistic robot structure is inspired by the octopus which uses its longitudinal and transversal muscles to steer, elongate, shri…
