From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Review on Control Strategies for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots with Model Uncertainties

Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering
Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) use cables instead of the rigid limbs of traditional parallel robots, thus processing a large potential workspace, easy to assemble and disassemble characteristics, and with applications in numerous fields.

Four cable driven parallel robot for educational activities

, 2022
Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPR) are not well represented in higher education unlike serial robots. We have designed a prototype CDPR dedicated to educational activities. We currently have a manual CDPR model for the ludic discovery of robotics intended for middle and high school students (Ludot1).

Concept for a large master/slave-controlled robotic hand [PDF]

A strategy is presented for the design and construction of a large master/slave-controlled, five-finger robotic hand. Each of the five fingers will possess four independent axes each driven by a brushless DC servomotor and, thus, four degrees-of-freedom.

Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.
