Abstract Introduction: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of
profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing …

Background: As an advanced surgical technique to reduce trauma to the inner ear, robot-
assisted electrode array (EA) insertion has been applied in adult cochlear implantation (CI) …

A new procedure for the calibration of an articulated arm coordinate measuring machine
(AACMM) is presented in this paper. First, a self‐calibration algorithm of four laser trackers …

The aim of this work is to design, fabricate and experimentally validate a miniature steerable
digital endoscope that can provide comprehensive, high-resolution imaging of the middle …

To overcome the challenges of reconstructive microsurgery, a teleoperated robot called
ASTEMA was built to help surgeons performing microanastomoses. The surgeons' needs …
