In this study, we propose a model-based taper tension profile that minimizes residual and radial stresses. In contrast to the constant torque and hyperbolic taper profile, the developed model can ...

In this paper we present experimentally obtained cable-pulley Coulomb and viscous friction for cable-driven surgical robotic systems including the RAVEN II surgical robotic research platform. In the ...

The ingenious minds at Primitive Technology build a belt and pulley system that boosts their forge blower to an impressive 1200 RPM by hand.

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a medical robotic system to relieve a life-threatening tension pneumothorax in the chest cavity. The researchers are ...
