Vision‐Based Handover and Organization of Robotic Scrub Nurse for Seamless Surgical Flow

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a pose estimation‐based robotic scrub nurse (PERSN) that assists surgical procedures by estimating the surgeon's hand position, orientation, and grasping state, along with the constraint‐based 6D pose of surgical instruments. User evaluations show that PERSN provides greater immediate usability and reduces physical demand compared ...

A Soft Robotic Jellyfish with Decoupled Actuators for Agile 3D Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft robotic jellyfish featuring a functionally decoupled actuation architecture. By separating propulsion, steering, and vertical regulation into independent modules, the robot overcomes conventional coupled‐motion limitations. Utilizing a passive‐valve‐based differential drag strategy and lateral water jets, it achieves agile 3D
