A miniature smart robotic foot (SRF), equipped with an integrated vacuum pump, a suction cup, a pressure sensor and a micro-valve, was designed, fabricated and tested. A mock-up robot equipped with the SRF was used to study the load-carrying potential of the system. The SRF weighs 35 g and it can, w
## Abstract ## Background A needle placement system using a serial robot arm for manipulation of biopsy and/or treatment needles is introduced. A method for fast calibration of the robot and the preliminary accuracy tests of the robotic system are presented. ## Methods The setup consists of a DL
## Abstract ## Background Recently, robotic systems have been introduced as a method for assisting endovascular interventional procedures. A few commercial and research solutions are available. In a survey it was found that none of the current systems satisfied all basic design requirements set fo
In this article we present a new concept for computer-assisted colonoscopy based on a miniature robot capable of propelling itself semiautonomously along the colon. The miniature robot is designed to perform the same functions as current colonoscopy systems-i.e., visualization and tissue sampling fo
