Improved Integrated Robotic Intraocular Snake

open access: yes2020 International Symposium on Medical Robotics (ISMR), 2020
Retinal surgery can be performed only by surgeons possessing advanced surgical skills because of the small, confined intraocular space, and the restricted free motion of instruments in contact with the sclera. Snake-like robots could be essential for use in retinal surgery to overcome this problem.

Snake robots

open access: yesAnnual Reviews in Control, 2017
The inspiration for snake robots comes from biological snakes. Snakes display superior mobility capabilities and can move over virtually any type of terrain, including narrow and confined spaces. They are good climbers, very efficient swimmers, and some snakes can even fly by jumping off branches and using their body to glide through the air.

GAN‐LSTM‐3D: An efficient method for lung tumour 3D reconstruction enhanced by attention‐based LSTM

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) image reconstruction of tumours can visualise their structures with precision and high resolution. In this article, GAN‐LSTM‐3D method is proposed for 3D reconstruction of lung cancer tumours from 2D CT images. Our method consists of three phases: lung segmentation, tumour segmentation, and tumour 3D reconstruction. Lung

Snake-Like Robot with Fusion Gait for High Environmental Adaptability: Design, Modeling, and Experiment

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
A snake changes its gait to adapt to different environments. A snake-like robot that is able to perform as many or more gaits than a real-life snake has the potential to successfully adapt to a range of environments, similar to a real-life snake. However,

Passive creeping of a snake-like robot

open access: yes, 2009
The control of a snake-like robot is a challenging problem because of the complex dynamics. In this paper, we present a novel method, called passive creeping, to control the serpentine locomotion of the snake-like robot.
