Compliant Passive Grasping Technology for Arbitrary Shaped and Sized Objects
Published Monday, December 7, 2015BackgroundSuction grippers (also referred to as "vacuum grippers") can grasp objects for handling and manipulation. They enable active control of grasp, enhance grasp stability, and handle some objects such as large flat plates more easily than standard graspers. However, the application of suction cups to object manipulation has been...

Minimally Invasive Neurosurgical Intracranial Robot
Published Thursday, March 6, 2008Brain tumors, which occur in 20-40% of adult cancer patients, are among the most feared complications of the disease. Despite numerous advances in treatment, the prognosis for these patients is poor, with a median survival of 4-8 months. The primary reasons for the poor survival rate are the lack of good continuous imaging modality for...
