Spatio-temporal variation of drought in China during 1961–2012: A climatic perspective
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper carried out a comprehensive analysis of their spatio-temporal variation based on multiple drought indices from a climatic perspective, and developed a 3-dimensional clustering method is developed to identify drought events in China from 1961 to 2012 based on the 0.25° gridded indices of SPI3 (3 months Standardized Precipitation Index), RDI3 ( 3 months Reconnaissance Drought Index) and SPEI3(3 months SSPEI Index).
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Integration of a Telerobotic System for Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Throat
TL;DR: Experimental results validate the ability of the newly constructed telerobotic system for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) of the throat through experiments of suturing and knot tying in confined spaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Investigation of the Intrinsic Force Sensing Capabilities of Continuum Robots
Kai Xu,Nabil Simaan +1 more
TL;DR: The presented study allows force sensing in challenging environments where placing force sensors at the distal end of a robot is not possible due to limitations such as size and MRI compatibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytic Formulation for Kinematics, Statics, and Shape Restoration of Multibackbone Continuum Robots Via Elliptic Integrals
Kai Xu,Nabil Simaan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a unified analytic formulation for kinematics, statics, and shape restoration of multiple-backbone continuum robots is presented, which allows the investigation of the effects of different external loads and actuation redundancy resolutions on the shape variations in these robots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Coordination Kinematics of an Insertable Robotic Effectors Platform for Single-Port Access Surgery
TL;DR: The clinical motivation, design considerations, kinematics, statics, and mechanical design of the IREP, a new insertable robotic end-effectors platform for single port access surgery, are presented.
