Milling refers to a class of material processing methods that relies on a high-speed rotating
milling cutter removing extra material to get desired shapes and features. Being distinct from …

This study aimed to summarize the current progress in the field of robot-assisted
laminectomy in spinal surgery. A systematic search of the Institute of Electrical and …

The correct orientation of an ultrasound (US) probe is one of the main parameters governing
the US image quality. With the rise of robotic ultrasound systems (RUSS), methods that can …

Acquiring good image quality is one of the main challenges for fully-automatic robot-assisted
ultrasound systems (RUSS). The presented method aims at overcoming this challenge for …

Automatic cutting is an essential task in the field ofrobot-assisted surgery. In this article, a
novel vision-based cutting control algorithm is proposed to cut a deformable object along the …

During the robot-assisted laminectomy, vertebral laminas are removed via automatic milling
operation, while inadequate estimation of the remaining lamina thickness will result in …

This article aims to optimize robotic actions for bone milling during laminectomy. The layer-
by-layer spinal lamina milling operation during robot-assisted laminectomy is analyzed in …

Gearboxes have been widely used in heavy industries. Thus, accurately diagnosing
complex health states of the gearbox under different operating conditions is important. To …

In laminectomy, the laminas above the spinal nerves need to be removed by milling. This
process is very dangerous because of the special lesion, and surgeons usually control the …

In mandibular angle split osteotomy (MASO), prominent mandibular angles need to be cut
off with saws such as reciprocating saws. Compared to traditional-freehand methods, robot …
