Towards Surgical Robots [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 31st Australian Conference on Human-Computer-Interaction, 2019
Knee arthroscopy is a very common elective surgery, which is performed globally. Research has stated that there are currently several issues surrounding this surgery which reveal surgeons are frustrated with their instruments, cause unintended damage, and have high levels of cognitive and physical demands.

Fast and Reliable Autonomous Surgical Debridement with Cable-Driven Robots Using a Two-Phase Calibration Procedure

open access: yes, 2018
Automating precision subtasks such as debridement (removing dead or diseased tissue fragments) with Robotic Surgical Assistants (RSAs) such as the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is challenging due to inherent non-linearities in cable-driven systems.

Feasibility study of a hand guided robotic drill for cochleostomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The concept of a hand guided robotic drill has been inspired by an automated, arm supported robotic drill recently applied in clinical practice to produce cochleostomies without penetrating the endosteum ready for inserting cochlear electrodes. The smart

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
