With the advancement of surgical robots, researches on the cochlear implantation (CI) using robotic systems has become increasingly robust. However, due to the narrowness of the human facial recess, even the precision of the most advanced robotic systems for CI cannot completely eliminate risks. The
In robot-assisted cochlear implantation (CI), the drilling accuracy of a tunnel for electrode array (EA) insertion is critical to the success of the surgery. Currently, robots for tunnel drilling in CI inevitably introduce additional invasiveness, and struggle to ensure consistent accuracy in the dr
For the robotically-assisted minimally invasive surgery, preoperative planning is essential towards assisting surgeons to prepare the intervention and to decide the best access to the surgical site. Many recent studies in preoperative planning have focused on the pose selection of the robot and the…
The kinematic modelling has been applied to many controllers of under-actuated manipulators. Most of these studies assume that the control process is conducted within the workspace. However, as such a kinematic model cannot describe the situations when the stable grasping is violated in the real env…
In robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation, detecting the intentions of hemiplegic patients is essential towards assisting the patients to actively exercise instead of driving passive motions. Many interactive channels, such as voice, EMG and EEG, have been studied to estimate the motion intentions…
