Ultrasound (US) is one of the most widely used modalities for clinical intervention and
diagnosis due to the merits of providing non-invasive, radiation-free, and real-time images …

Medical ultrasound (US) is of increasing importance in medical diagnosis and intraoperative
assistance and possesses great potential advantages when integrated with robotics …

Objective: We propose a general control framework for task space compliant motion and six-
dimensional (6-D) force regulation towards automated robotic ultrasound (US) imaging. The …

Robot-assisted ultrasound scanning acquires spatial-property labeled images under high
consistency, holding the potential to reconstruct the volume with more intuitive images for …

Robotic ultrasonography potentially acts as an essential aid to medical diagnosis. To
overcome the limitations in robotic ultrasonography, in this article, we proposed a novel self …

Force control technology plays a pivotal role in manipulating vulnerable objects. This paper
presents a new compliant mechanism with constant-force output characteristics, which can …

Ultrasound (US) imaging is a first-line medical imaging modality for detecting thyroid cancer;
however, it suffers from operator-dependent variability in image quality and diagnostic …

Background Since most developed countries are facing an increase in the number of
patients per healthcare worker due to a declining birth rate and an ageing population …

This paper presents the design of a novel adjustable constant-force mechanism (CFM) using
a geared Sarrus linkage and a linear spring. The uniqueness of this design is that it provides …

With the development of virtual reality, the practical requirements of the wearable haptic
interface have been greatly emphasized. While passive haptic devices are commonly used …
