Background Autonomous control of surgical robotic platforms may offer enhancements such
as higher precision, intelligent manoeuvres, tissue‐damage avoidance, etc. Autonomous …

The birth of robots in surgery and the idea of telepresence arose from necessity. One of the
factors that drove these innovations was the need to provide surgical services to soldiers in …

Continuum robotic manipulators articulate due to their inherent compliance. Tendon
actuation leads to compression of the manipulator, extension of the actuators, and is limited …

The growth of medical robotics since the mid-1980s has been striking. From a few initial
efforts in stereotactic brain surgery, orthopaedics, endoscopic surgery, microsurgery, and …

This paper presents novel ultrareliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) techniques
for URLLC services, such as Tactile Internet services. Among typical use cases of URLLC …

This article gives an overview of research performed in the field of haptic information
feedback during minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Literature has been consulted from 1985 …

This article discusses various challenges and puts forth the concepts of intelligent surgical
robots and complementary situational awareness (CSA) as a means for achieving new …

The introduction of sensor technology in our daily lives has brought comfort, convenience,
and improved health over the past few decades. Technological advances further expanded …

This paper provides an overview of medical robotics, from the perspective of a researcher
who has been actively involved in the field for 17 years. Like all robot systems, medical …

We present design and experimental performance results for a novel mechanism for robotic
legged locomotion at the mesoscale (from hundreds of microns to tens of centimeters). The …
