An Intelligent Catheter System Robotic Controlled Catheter System

Model Catheter System

The urinary tract is a major site of nosocomial infections (4, 5). The leading cause of nosocomial urinary tract infections is urinary catheterization which, in turn, is the most common predisposing factor for fatal gram-negative sepsis in hospitals (6). A recent publication suggested that catheters coated with silver powder and containing a silver-plated connector could protect patients from c...

Knee rehabilitation using an intelligent robotic system

There is an increasing trend in using robots for medical purposes. One specific area is the rehabilitation. There are some commercial exercise machines used for rehabilitation purposes. However, these machines have limited use because of their insufficient motion freedom. In addition, these types of machines are not actively controlled and therefore can not accommodate complicated exercises req...

Internet-based robotic catheter surgery system - System design and performance evaluation

Endovascular intervention is expected to become increasingly popular in medical practice, both for diagnosis and for surgery. Accordingly, researches of robotic systems for endovascular surgery assistant have been carried out widely. Robotic system takes advantages of higher precision, can be controlled remotely etc. In this paper a novel robotic catheter manipulation system is presented. The d...

URIS: Underwater Robotic Intelligent System

Oceans play an important role in human existence. They are a huge source of natural resources (oil, food, minerals, etc.). Nevertheless, humans are not adapted to the underwater environment. Hence, technology developments have been traditionally used to carry out underwater exploration. First manned submersibles were used mainly for scientific campaigns. Nowadays, ROVs are the workhorses being ...
