Fall 2024
Robot-assisted arthroscopic surgery has been receiving growing attention in the field of orthopedic surgery. Most of the existing robot-assisted surgical systems in orthopedics take more focus on open surgery than minimally invasive surgery (MIS). In traditional arthroscopic surgery, a specific...

EMG-based Hybrid Impedance-Force Control for Human-Robot Collaboration on Ultrasound Imaging
Download2022-11-03
Teng Li, Hongjun Xing, Hamid D. Taghirad, Mahdi Tavakoli
ABSTRACT: Ultrasound (US) imaging is a common but physically demanding task in the medical field, and sonographers may need to put in considerable physical effort for producing high-quality US images. During physical human-robot interaction on US imaging, robot compliance is a critical feature...

Integrating Impedance Control and Nonlinear Disturbance Observer for Robot-Assisted Arthroscope Control in Elbow Arthroscopic Surgery
Download2022-11-03
Teng Li, Armin Badre, Hamid D. Taghirad, Mahdi Tavakoli
ABSTRACT: Robot-assisted arthroscopic surgery is transforming the tradition in orthopaedic surgery. Compliance and stability are essential features that a surgical robot must have for safe physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). Surgical tools attached at the robot end-effector and human-robot...
