A neural-network-based controller for piezoelectric-actuated stick-slip devices (2017)
Journal Article
Cheng, L., Liu, W., Yang, C., Huang, T., Hou, Z. G., & Tan, M. (2018). A neural-network-based controller for piezoelectric-actuated stick-slip devices. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 65(3), 2598-2607. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIE.2017.2740826

© 1982-2012 IEEE. Piezoelectric-actuated stick-slip device (PASSD) is a highly promising equipment that is composed of one end-effector, one piezoelectric actuator (PEA) and one driving object adhered to the PEA. Since the end-effector can slip on th... Read More about A neural-network-based controller for piezoelectric-actuated stick-slip devices.

Image-Guided Surgical Robotic System for Percutaneous Reduction of Joint Fractures (2017)
Journal Article
Dagnino, G., Georgilas, I., Morad, S., Gibbons, P., Tarassoli, P., Atkins, R., & Dogramadzi, S. (2017). Image-Guided Surgical Robotic System for Percutaneous Reduction of Joint Fractures. Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 45(11), 2648-2662. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10439-017-1901-x

© 2017, The Author(s). Complex joint fractures often require an open surgical procedure, which is associated with extensive soft tissue damages and longer hospitalization and rehabilitation time. Percutaneous techniques can potentially mitigate these... Read More about Image-Guided Surgical Robotic System for Percutaneous Reduction of Joint Fractures.

Predicting notched tensile strength of full-scale composite structures from small coupons using fracture mechanics (2017)
Journal Article

The Input-to-State Stable (ISS) approach for stabilizing haptic interaction with virtual environments (2017)
Journal Article
Jafari, A., Nabeel, M., & Ryu, J. H. (2017). The Input-to-State Stable (ISS) approach for stabilizing haptic interaction with virtual environments. IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 33(4), 948-963. https://doi.org/10.1109/TRO.2017.2676127

© 2004-2012 IEEE. Passivity has been a major criterion for designing a stable haptic interface due to its numerous advantages. However, passivity-based controllers have suffered from the design conservatism of the passivity criterion, particularly wh...

Mathematical analysis on urine flow traces for non-invasive diagnosis of Detrusor underactivity in men (2017)
Journal Article
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. (2017). Mathematical analysis on urine flow traces for non-invasive diagnosis of Detrusor underactivity in men. Neurourology and Urodynamics, 36(S3), 87-88

Detrusor underactivity (DU) is still largely under researched and can only be diagnosed by invasive pressure flow studies (PFS). Theoretically, the flow shape of DU is different from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), but in practice PFS is the only g...
