Bone drilling, despite being a very common procedure in hospitals around the world,
becomes very challenging when performed close to organs such as the cochlea or when …

This paper presents a new automatic mechatronic tool for bone drilling, a procedure which is
currently very manual and where depth control is critical in most scenarios. The system and …

Background: Mandible plastic surgery plays an important role in conventional plastic
surgery. However, its success depends on the experience of the surgeons. In order to …

During the robotic grinding of vertebral plates in high-risk laminectomy procedures,
programmed operations may inadvertently induce force or temperature-related damage to …

To address the safety issues of bone drilling, especially bone screw path drilling, this paper
proposes a new method to detect the bone drilling state. The proposed method performs …
