Application to Robot Medical Field of Rubber Actuator : Cardiac Supporting Device

Shape Memory Alloy Actuator forBio-medical application

In this paper various applications of shape memory alloys (SMA) in bio-medical field based upon their material properties are discussed, and a novel SMA spring actuator design for biopsy is proposed. Design parameters such as spring configuration, wire diameter required for designing the actuator were defined and obtained through experiments. Finally, itconcludeswith the possibility of using SM...

Prototype design of medical round supporting robot "Terapio"

a 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...

UML based risk analysis - Application to a medical robot

Medical robots can perform complex tasks and share their working area with humans. Therefore, they belong to safety critical systems. In nowadays development process, safety is often managed by the way of dependability techniques. We propose a new global approach, based on the risk concept in order to guide designers along the safety analysis of such complex systems. Safety depends on risk mana...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
