Journal Article
Abeywardena, S., Yuan, Q., Tzemanaki, A., Psomopoulou, E., Droukas, L., Melhuish, C., & Dogramadzi, S. (2019). Estimation of tool-tissue forces in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery using neural networks. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 6, Article 56. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2019.00056

A new algorithm is proposed to estimate the tool-tissue force interaction in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery which does not require the use of external force sensing. The proposed method utilizes the current of the motors of the surgical in... Read More about Estimation of tool-tissue forces in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery using neural networks.

The robotic surgical systems and computer-assisted technologies market has seen impressive growth over the last decades, but uptake by end-users is still scarce. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive and informed list of the end-u... Read More about Requirements elicitation for robotic and computer-assisted minimally invasive surgery.

Motion Capture Pillow (MCP): A novel method to improve comfort and accuracy in radiotherapy (2019)
Journal Article
Goldsworthy, S., McNair, H., & Dogramadzi, S. (2019). Motion Capture Pillow (MCP): A novel method to improve comfort and accuracy in radiotherapy. Clinical Medicine, 19(Suppl2), s103. https://doi.org/10.7861/clinmedicine.19-2-s103

The delivery of radiotherapy has changed significantly over the last few decades. Recent advances in radiotherapy practice may increase patient discomfort. A key challenge to improve patient comfort is the common use of a thermoplastic mask for patien...

Social robots: The influence of human and robot characteristics on acceptance (2019)
Journal Article
Bishop, L., van Maris, A., Dogramadzi, S., & Zook, N. (2019). Social robots: The influence of human and robot characteristics on acceptance. Paladyn, 10(1), 346-358. https://doi.org/10.1515/pjbr-2019-0028

Research in social robotics is focused on the development of robots that can provide physical and cognitive support in a socially interactive way. Whilst some studies have previously investigated the importance of user characteristics (age, gender, e...
