Design of Three-dimensional Force Sensor Based on FBG for Pulmonary Intervention [PDF]
The tortuous and complex environment of the tracheobronchial tree poses significant challenges for force sensing at the distal end of flexible robots used in pulmonary interventional surgeries, with conventional force sensors often falling short of the

FBG laser sensor with PS [PDF]
Owing to unstable multi‐wavelength lasing, robust measurement is difficult with a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) laser sensor system that uses FBGs as laser cavity mirrors as well as sensors. A stabilising technique is essential for proper data acquisition.

EndoTac presents a trocar‐compatible endoscopic vision‐based tactile sensor that uses a convex mirror to enlarge side‐facing tactile coverage during minimally invasive vessel palpation. Distorted tactile images are unwarped and processed by a learning model to estimate vascular deformation, enabling sensitive, spatially distributed tactile perception ...

Mechanically‐Gated Stochastic Resonance for All‐Optical Acoustic Sensing in Noisy Environments
A mechanically‐gated stochastic resonance (MGSR) sensing system is demonstrated, wherein stochastic resonance is enabled by an all‐optical bistable fiber Bragg grating feedback loop and gated by mechanical resonance. Under ambient noise, the system generates bistable outputs satisfying the Kramers escape‐rate condition, yielding signal‐to‐noise ratio ...

Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation
This work introduces a novel bioelectric navigation system eliminates the need for harmful fluoroscopy during endovascular surgeries. A bespoke 16‐electrode catheter is fabricated using rapid thermal drawing and laser micro‐machining. Paired with a real‐time tracking algorithm fusing vascular geometry detection and distance estimation, this technology ...

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...
