With the continuous advancement of minimally invasive surgery, the incisions have become increasingly smaller, leading to a proportional convergence between the physical dimensions of surgical instruments and the operational space. This phenomenon has exacerbated the issue of visual obstruction caus
Negative pressure (NP) therapy with sliding suction is an effective method for limb lymphedema. Due to the caregiver shortage and the patients increase, the robotic NP therapeutic system with a variable-sized suction head can be used to help the lymphedema therapy. However, the varying complexity of
Negative pressure (NP) therapy is effective in managing chronic lymphedema of the extremities. However, the seal formation of the general head (GH) can fail due to the interspace between the lip and the irregular skin surface on limbs before suction, resulting in the inefficiency of therapy, prolong
Multi-robot cooperative transportation systems (MRCTSs) hold great potential in industrial material transport, where they need to be omnidirectional, highly flexible, adaptable to various terrains, and cost-effective. This letter presents an industrial MRCTS that employs a novel composite connector,
