Enabling four-arm laparoscopic surgery by controlling two robotic assistants via haptic foot interfaces

Aude Billard, Mohamed Bouri, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez

Robotic surgery is a promising direction to improve surgeons and assistants’ daily life with respect to conventional surgery. In this work, we propose solo laparoscopic surgery in which two robotic arms, controlled via haptic foot interfaces, assist the ta ...

Dual-Arm Control for Coordinated Fast Grabbing and Tossing of an Object

Aude Billard, Michael Bosongo Bombile

Picking up objects to toss them on a conveyor belt are activities generated on a daily basis in the industry. These tasks are still done largely by humans. This paper proposes a unified motion generator for a bimanual robotic systems that enables two 7 deg ...

The fabrication and control of robot hands with biologically inspired structure remains challenging due to its cost and complexity. In this paper we explore how widely available FDM printers can be used to fabricate complex hand structures by leveraging co ...

FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022

Mechanical watches are complex and sensitive systems that have to maintain a faultless precision over their lifetime. However, this precision can be altered by disturbances occurring during the functioning time, such as friction, lubricant drying, or wear, ...

EPFL2020

This study provides a novel approach for designing a rotary hexapod with a single actuator and definable motion of a platform. Hexapod is a parallel structure mechanism with six legs and six degrees of freedom (DoF) of an end-effector. It is not an underac ...

Higher-order continuation method for the rigid-body kinematic design of compliant mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Lennart Rubbert

Compliant mechanisms are of great interest in precision engineering. In this paper we propose a higher order continuation method to help their rigid-body kinematic design. The method helps to investigate the choice of a mechanism configuration through the ...

Supernumerary Robotic Arm for Three-Handed Surgical Application: Behavioral Study and Design of Human-Machine Interface

Elahe Abdi

In surgical to industrial manipulation, the operator needs assistance for tasks requiring more than two hands. Teamwork may be the source of errors and inefficiency, especially if the assistant is a novice or unfamiliar with the main operator. The need for ...

Control approaches for robotic knee exoskeleton and their effects on human motion

Tadej Petric

In this paper we compare three noninvasive control methods for a robotic knee exoskeleton and asses their kinematic influences on the repetitive squatting motions of able-bodied human subjects. The motion of the subjects wearing the knee exoskeleton was al ...

Design of Dexterous Mechanical Systems for Intuitive Telemanipulation in Minimally Invasive Surgery

Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira

Major progress in abdominal surgery has occurred over the last decades with the introduction of laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques in the operating room. These innovative procedures attracted much attention due to several advantages: the need f ...

A Minimal Set of Coordinates for Describing Humanoid Shoulder Motion

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

The kinematics of the anatomical shoulder are analysed and modelled as a parallel mechanism similar to a Stewart platform. A new method is proposed to describe the shoulder kinematics with minimal coordinates and solve the indeterminacy. The minimal coordi ...
