Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Robotic Interventional Needle Insertion Assisted by a Cable‐Driven Parallel Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems
This study presents a novel cable‐driven parallel robot (CDPR) assisted needle insertion method for X‐ray guided remote interventional pain procedures. The CDPR employs flexible cables to actuate a robotic end‐effector, and the proposed system ensures compatibility with X‐ray imaging while facilitating precise remote needle insertion by achieving a ...
