Shock waves should not be shocking—engineers across scientific fields need to be able to precisely predict how the instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage. Now, ...

Abstract: The Concentric Tube Robot (CTR) has great promise for minimally invasive surgery. However, accurately modeling nonlinear and history-dependent behaviors remains a significant challenge. This ...

Abstract: This paper presents a kinematic modeling and control method for a flexible surgical robot designed for narrow cavities. The Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters are used for forward kinematics ...

This paper is an important overview of the currently published literature on low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS) in humans, providing a meta-analysis of this literature that explores ...
