Combinational scissor-grasper tool for use in laparoscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, a four-jawed combinational scissor-grasper surgical tool for use in laparoscopy is described. But this tool is not suitable for use with a human operator.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design and analysis of an underwater quadrotor - AQUAD
TL;DR: A new configuration of underwater robotic vehicle, named AQUAD, is presented, a configuration with four thrusters in a plane which is inspired from an aerial quadrotor system, mathematically modelled using Newton-Euler approach.
Book ChapterDOI
Obstacle Avoidance Using Multi-Point Potential Field Approach for an Underactuated Flat-Fish Type AUV in Dynamic Environment
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-point potential field (MPPF) method for obstacle avoidance of AUVs in a 2D dynamic environment is presented, where an arc of predefined radius on a semicircle in the positive x-axis around the bow of an AUV is discretized into equiangular points with center as the current position.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Analysis of a Multimodal Grasper Having Shape Conformity and Within-Hand Manipulation With Adjustable Contact Forces
TL;DR: This paper presents the design, analysis, and testing of a novel multimodal grasper having the capabilities of shape conformation, within-hand manipulation, and a built-in compact mechanism to vary the forces at the contact surface.
