The outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) has caused mortality and morbidity worldwide. Oropharyngeal-swab (OP-swab) sampling is widely used for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in the world. To avoid the clinical staff from being affected by the virus, we developed a 9-degree-of-freedom (DOF)
Driven by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, demand for oropharyngeal swab sampling (OP-swabs) is surging. However, medical staff can easily become infected by the virus during the sampling process. In an effort to combat this, we developed a novel, intrinsically safe rigid- flexible coupling (RFC) manipulato…
Cable-driven segmented manipulators (CDSMs) featured by superior dexterity, light and slender body are excellent candidates for operations in confined environments. However, the stiffness and load capacity of such manipulators have been a challenge due to their structural elasticity. In this paper,…
With a light and slender body, a cable-driven redundant spatial manipulator (CRSM) has flexible manipulability and high maneuverability in confined environment. However, compared with revolute rigid manipulators, such type of manipulators generally has low stiffness and weak load capacity. In this p…
With the rapid development of robotics, dual-arm robots have been more and more widely used. Compared with the traditional single manipulator, it is very challenging for a dual-arm robot in modelling, planning and control. In this paper, we propose two compliance control methods for dual arm coordin…
