Intra-operative fiducial-based CT/fluoroscope image registration framework for image-guided robot-assisted joint fracture surgery (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). Purpose: Joint fractures must be accurately reduced minimising soft tissue damages to avoid negative surgical outcomes. To this regard, we have developed the RAFS surgical system, which allows the percutaneous reduction of intr...

A quantitative analysis of dressing dynamics for robotic dressing assistance (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Chance, Jevtić, Caleb-Solly and Dogramadzi. Assistive robots have a great potential to address issues related to an aging population and an increased demand for caregiving. Successful deployment of robots working in close proximity with people... Read More about A quantitative analysis of dressing dynamics for robotic dressing assistance.

Safe human–robot interaction in medical robotics: A case study on robotic fracture surgery system (2017)
Journal Article

This paper presents a safety analysis of a Robotic Fracture Surgery System using the Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA). It focuses particularly on hazards caused by the human in the loop. The robotic system and operating staff are modeled inc... Read More about Safe human–robot interaction in medical robotics: A case study on robotic fracture surgery system.

Toward Bio-Inspired Tactile Sensing Capsule Endoscopy for Detection of Submucosal Tumors (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 IEEE. Here, we present a method for lump characterization using a bio-inspired remote tactile sensing capsule endoscopy system. While current capsule endoscopy utilizes cameras to diagnose lesions on the surface of the gastrointestinal tract l...

Navigation system for robot-assisted intra-articular lower-limb fracture surgery (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). Purpose: In the surgical treatment for lower-leg intra-articular fractures, the fragments have to be positioned and aligned to reconstruct the fractured bone as precisely as possible, to allow the joint to function correctly ag...

Systematic review of thermoplastic masks versus alternative immobilisation methods in head and neck irradiation (2014)
Journal Article

Is a thermoplastic mask versus an alternative immobilisation effective in increasing reproducibility and comfort in head and neck patients receiving radiotherapy?

Environmental Hazard Analysis - a Variant of Preliminary Hazard Analysis for Autonomous Mobile Robots (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Robot manufacturers will be required to demonstrate objectively that all reasonably foreseeable hazards have been identified in any robotic product design that is to be marketed commercially. This is... Read More about Environmental Hazard Analysis - a Variant of Preliminary Hazard Analysis for Autonomous Mobile Robots.

Towards tactile sensing applied to underwater autonomous vehicles for near shore survey and de-mining (2012)
Journal Article

Artificial tactile whisker sensors demonstrate an approach to localisation that is robust to harsh environmental disturbances, endowing autonomous systems with the ability to operate effectively in confined, noisy and visually occluded spaces, such a...
