Purpose of the review Robotics is a rapidly advancing field, and its introduction in healthcare
can have a multitude of benefits for clinical practice. Especially, applications depending on …

Task-space control needs the inverse kinematics solution or Jacobian matrix for the
transformation from task space to joint space. However, they are not always available for …

This paper presents a motor-based capsule robot powered by wireless power transmission,
a device with a small size of Φ 13 mm× 42 mm for exploring the intestinal tract. The active …

Objective: Biopsies are the gold standard for clinical diagnosis. However, a discrepancy
between the biopsy sample and target tissue because of misplacement of the biopsy spoon …

Introduction: To assess the effect of a hands-on ultrasound training session to teach urologic
trainees ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle placement. Materials and methods …

To improve the performance of a conventional rescue equipment, we designed a novel multi-
functional rescue end-effector comprising a separation mechanism and a grasping …

Robot control in task-space 1 needs the inverse kinematics and Jacobian matrix. They are
not available for redundant robots, because there are so many degrees-of-freedom (DOF) …

This paper describes the design, manufacture, and performance of a highly dexterous, low-
profile, 7 Degree-of-Freedom (DoF) robotic arm for CT-guided percutaneous needle biopsy …

We present a compact and lightweight two Degrees of Freedom (DOF) needle driver to be
applied to a teleoperated needle insertion-type interventional robotic system. The …

We present a compact and lightweight two degrees-of-freedom (DOF) needle end-effector to
be applied to a teleoperated needle interventional robotic system. The suggested needle …
