The proposed 3-PUU PKM possesses three translational degree-of-freedom (DOF). The position, velocity and acceleration of joints are solved via the inverse kinematic analysis, the link Jacobian matrices which map the velocity of the moving platform into the velocity and angular velocity of struts are derived in the fixed coordinate system. Based on the d'Alembert's form of the principle of virtual work, the applied generalized forces of the whole mechanical system are divided into the applied forces of moving platform, struts, sliders, and motor-coupling-leadscrew, respectively. The joint actuated torques are obtained through eliminating the virtual displacement in the dynamic equations. Furthermore, the inertial term, centrifugal and Coriolis term, and gravitational term of the total joint torque are determined. Simulation for a conical spiral trajectory demonstrates that the total torque is dominated by the inertial term.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126385205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measurement of the retracting force is desired in order to avoid damage to brain tissue due to an unexpected large force. This paper presents a force-sensing embedded silicone retractor that can be attached to suction pipes. The developed silicone retractor can provide three functions at the same time: suction, retracting, and retracting force measurement. The force-sensing system is based on a visualization mechanism that displays the force as a colored pole motion. The surgeon can then roughly estimate the retracting force. With a fiberscope, the retracting force can be measured with a resolution of 0.05-0.3 N. The retractor is made of silicone and has the advantages of disposability, low cost, and easy sterilization/disinfection. The system was validated through finite element method analysis and experiments.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125666142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A tungsten needle wrapped with nichrome wire is used as a heat source mechanism and is connected to the two dimensional micromanipulator. The experimental results reveal that the heated needle can provide high temperature up to 50°C with 10μm needle tip diameter.

A flexible tube has an important role as medical applications, for passing nutrients or fresh air, but inserting the tube has been largely dependent on experienced operators. Although X-ray have been applied to detecting the location of the tube, it is time consuming, high cost and they are bulky, which are not practical. On the contrary, a magnetic sensor has been studied for position/orientation detection due to compactness. In this study, a compact orientation sensor based on magnetic induction has been developed; both field generator and detector are designed along the flexible tube. Magnetic mutual inductance with design parameters are analyzed and optimized for an operational range of orientation angle along with magnetic field modelling method referred to Extended Distributed Multiple-Pole (eDMP) model. Performance of the sensors are numerically simulated and compared to experimental results. The comparisons show the accuracy in wide operational range and potentials in using many applications.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131364574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike conventional motors capable of controlling a single DOF motion only, a SWM is able to provide 3-DOF rotational motions. However, it is challenging to measure the three highly-coupled rotational motions in real time. Unlike some previous sensing systems using optical encoders to measure rotation along each axis separately, a contact-less sensing system such as one composed of Hall Effect sensors is preferred, so as to avoid friction and additional moment inertia, which may damage dynamic performance. In this paper, a sensing system based on a combination of magnetic sensors is proposed, and neural networks are applied to compute rotational angles from measured magnetic field. The paper is organized as followings: distributed multi-pole model (DMP) to obtain the SWM magnetic field distribution (MFD) is demonstrated first; important factors affecting measuring accuracy is researched by simulation then; experimental investigations for a SWM rotor are presented; finally, possible methods to improve proposed sensing system are proposed.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
