Modeling of a 4-DOF Flexible Laparoscopic Instrument for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background: Flexible surgical instruments for Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) face a critical limitation: the inability to rotate the distal head while the instrument is in a bent configuration, which restricts the maneuverability in ...

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Experimental External Force Estimation Using a Non-Linear Observer for 6 axes Flexible-Joint Industrial Manipulators [PDF]
This paper proposes a non-linear observer to estimate not only the state (position and velocity) of links but also the external forces exerted by the robot during Friction Stir Welding (FSW) processes.

A Novel Approach to Estimate the Transition Temperature via Dynamic Nanoindentation
A new dynamic nanoindentation‐based method was developed that uses the stiffness ratio as an indicator of the elastic–plastic deformation contributions at different temperatures. The approach successfully identified transition temperatures in ferritic steel and distinguished them from continuously ductile austenitic steel.
