Shape sensing of miniature snake-like robots using optical fibers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Snake like continuum robots are increasingly used for minimally invasive surgery. Most robotic devices of this sort that have been reported to date are controlled in an open loop manner. Using shape sensing to provide closed loop feedback would allow for

BodySpace: inferring body pose for natural control of a music player [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We describe the BodySpace system, which uses inertial sensing and pattern recognition to allow the gestural control of a music player by placing the device at different parts of the body.

Shape-sensing by self-sensing of shape memory alloy instruments for minimal invasive surgery

open access: yesat - Automatisierungstechnik, 2023
Abstract Shape memory alloy-based flexible instruments have potential for enhancing the safety in minimally invasive surgery compared to passive rigid devices. We developed a data-driven polynomial model to estimate deflection of a 2D bending actuator using electrical resistance.

Shapes From Pixels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Continuous-domain visual signals are usually captured as discrete (digital) images. This operation is not invertible in general, in the sense that the continuous-domain signal cannot be exactly reconstructed based on the discrete image, unless it ...

Towards shape-sensing using time-expanded ΦOTDR

open access: yesEuropean Workshop on Optical Fibre Sensors (EWOFS 2023), 2023
Optical fiber sensors are becoming a prominent solution to perform shape sensing thanks to their interesting and well-known advantages such as flexibility, lightweight, sensitivity, etc. However, the different approaches commonly used to date, which include fiber Bragg gratings, OFDR or OTDR architectures, are not able to achieve a fully distributed ...

Shape Sensing for an UAV Composite Half-Wing: Numerical Comparison between Modal Method and Ko’s Displacement Theory

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
Shape sensing is the reconstruction of the displacement field of a structure from some discrete surface strain measurements and is a key technology for structural health monitoring. The aim of this paper is to compare two approaches to shape sensing that

Shape Sensing of a Complex Aeronautical Structure with Inverse Finite Element Method

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) is receiving more attention for shape sensing due to its independence from the material properties and the external load. However, a proper definition of the model geometry with its boundary conditions is required,
