Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

Navigated and Robotized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation based on 3D Laser Scans [PDF]

, 2011
Navigated and robotized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is advancing forward in research and treatment. MRI-scans or other medical image data are typically used as navigation source. Unfortunately, scanning time is always short and expensive. For many TMSapplications the underlying brain topology is not necessarily needed.
