Minimally invasive instrument for robotic surgery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a minimally invasive instrument for robotic surgery including a functional element, a force, torque and/or pressure transmission device, a coupling device for coupling the instrument to a medical robot, and an operating element for manually operating the functional element in a state in which the instrument is uncoupled from the medical robot.

TL;DR: While the components of the MiroSurge system are shown to fulfil the rigid design requirements for robotic telesurgery with force feedback, the system remains versatile, which is supposed to be a key issue for the further development and optimisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The DLR MIRO: a versatile lightweight robot for surgical applications
Ulrich Hagn,Matthias Nickl,Stephan Jörg,Georg Passig,Thomas Bahls,Alexander Nothhelfer,Franz Hacker,Luc Le-Tien,Alin Albu-Schaffer,Rainer Konietschke,Markus Grebenstein,Rebecca Warpup,Robert Haslinger,Mirko Frommberger,Gerd Hirzinger +14 more
TL;DR: The DLR MIRO robot focuses on compact, slim and lightweight design to assist the surgeon directly at the operating table without interference, and integrates torque‐sensing capabilities to enable close interaction with human beings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Ultrasound Images of the Forearm to Predict Finger Positions
TL;DR: Ultrasound images of the human forearm are used to predict the finger positions, including thumb adduction and thumb rotation, and it is shown that there is a clear linear relationship between the features extracted from the images, andfinger positions, expressed as angles at the metacarpo-phalangeal joints.

MICA - A new generation of versatile instruments in robotic surgery
Sophie Thielmann,Ulrich Seibold,Robert Haslinger,Georg Passig,Thomas Bahls,Stefan Jörg,Mathias Nickl,Alexander Nothhelfer,Ulrich Hagn,Gerd Hirzinger +9 more
TL;DR: The capabilities of a robotic system need to be expandable as new tasks arise to protect the initial investment and to meet demands for lower cost of care.
