A Compact, Bone-Attached Robot for Mastoidectomy.
Otologic surgery often involves a mastoidectomy, which is the removal of a portion of the mastoid region of the temporal bone, to safely access the middle and inner ear. The surgery is challenging because many critical structures are embedded within the bone, making them difficult to see and requiring a high level of accuracy with the surgical dissection instrument, a high-speed drill. We propo...
متن کاملPreliminary testing of a compact bone-attached robot for otologic surgery
Otologic surgery often involves a mastoidectomy procedure, in which part of the temporal bone is milled away in order to visualize critical structures embedded in the bone and safely access the middle and inner ear. We propose to automate this portion of the surgery using a compact, bone-attached milling robot. A high level of accuracy is required to avoid damage to vital anatomy along the surg...
متن کاملHuman Step Rehabilitation Using a Robot Attached to the Pelvis
This paper describes a new robot capable of manipulating pelvic motion during human step training on a treadmill. The robot, PAM, (Pelvic Assist manipulator) uses two, pneumatically actuated subsystems arranged in a tripod configuration to measure and control the pelvis of a person during body weight supported stepping on a treadmill. The device can be used in a passive mode to record pelvic tr...
متن کاملRepair of Temporal Bone Encephalocele following Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy
We report a rare case of a temporal bone encephalocele after a canal wall down mastoidectomy performed to treat chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma. The patient was treated successfully via an intracranial approach. An enhanced layer-by-layer repair of the encephalocele and skull base deficit was achieved from intradurally to extradurally, using temporalis fascia, nasal septum cartilage, an...
متن کاملa new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot
abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...
