A MODULAR MECHATRONIC SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC BONE DRILLING

A modular mechatronic system for automatic bone drilling

Drilling tools currently used in surgery depends only on the surgeon’s manual skills to stop the penetration when completing a hole. This paper presents a modular mechatronic system for automatic bone drilling in surgery. The development of a “modular system” that is compatible with motor-driven drills that are commercially available, rather than developing a new surgical drill, is emphasized. ...

A CAD System Framework for the Automatic Diagnosis and Annotation of Histological and Bone Marrow Images

Due to ever increasing of medical images data in the world’s medical centers and recent developments in hardware and technology of medical imaging, necessity of medical data software analysis is needed. Equipping medical science with intelligent tools in diagnosis and treatment of illnesses has resulted in reduction of physicians’ errors and physical and financial damages. In this article we pr...

Mechatronic Design of a Modular Self-Reconfiguring Robotic System

Design and implementation of I-Cubes, a modular selfreconfigurable robotic system, is discussed. 1-Cubes is a bipartite collection of individual modules that can be independently controlled. The group consists of active elements, called links, which are 3-DOF manipulators capable of attaching to~detaching from the passive elements (cubes) acting as connectors. The cubes can be oriented and posi...

Automatic generation of system-level dynamic equations for mechatronic systems

This paper presents a novel methodology for deriving the dynamic equations of mechatronic systems from component models that are represented as linear graphs. This work is part of a larger research effort in composable simulation. In this framework, CAD models of system components are augmented with simulation models describing the component’s dynamic behavior in different energy domains. By co...
