Abstract Robotic systems may help efficiently execute complicated tasks that require a high degree of accuracy, and this, in large part, explains why robotics have garnered widespread use in a variety of neurosurgical applications, including intracranial biopsies, spinal instrumentation, and placement of intracranial leads. The use of robotics in neurosurgery confers many benefits, and inherent limitations, to both surgeons and their patients. In this narrative review, we provide a historical overview of robotics and its implementation across various surgical specialties, and discuss the various robotic systems that have been developed specifically for neurosurgical applications. We also discuss the relative advantages of robotic systems compared to traditional surgical techniques, particularly as it pertains to integration of image guidance with the ability of the robotic arm to reliably execute pre-planned tasks. As more neurosurgeons adopt the use of robotics in their practice, we postulate that further technological advancements will become available that will help achieve improved technical capabilities, user experience, and overall patient clinical outcomes.

With the expansion of autonomous robotics and its applications (e.g. medical, competition, military), the biggest hurdle in developing mobile robots lies in endowing them with the ability to interact with the environment and to make correct decisions so that their tasks can be executed successfully. However, as the complexity of robotic systems grows, the need to organize and modularize software for their correct functioning also becomes a challenge, making the development of software for controlling robots a complex and intricate task. In the robotics domain, there is a lack of reference software architectures and, although most robot architectures available in the literature facilitate the creation process with their modularity, existing solutions do not provide development guidance on reusing existing modules. Based on the well-
known IBM Autonomic Computing reference architecture (known as MAPE-K), this work defines a refined architecture following the Robotics perspective. To explore the capabilities of the proposed refinement, we implemented the RoCS (Robotics and Cognitive Systems) framework for autonomous robots. We successfully tested the framework under simulated robotics scenarios that mimic typical robotics tasks and evidence the framework reuse capability. Finally, we understand the proposed framework needs further experimental evaluation, particularly, assessments on real-world scenarios.

In this study, the use of a popular deep reinforcement learning algorithm – deep Q-learning – in developing end-to-end control policies for robotic swarms is explored. Robots only have limited local sensory capabilities; however, in a swarm, they can accomplish collective tasks beyond the capability of a single robot. Compared with most automatic design approaches proposed so far, which belong to the field of evolutionary robotics, deep reinforcement learning techniques provide two advantages: (i) they enable researchers to develop control policies in an end-to-end fashion; and (ii) they require fewer computation resources, especially when the control policy to be developed has a large parameter space. The proposed approach is evaluated in a round-trip task, where the robots are required to travel between two destinations as much as possible. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can learn control policies directly from high-dimensional raw camera pixel inputs for robotic swarms.

Intensive introduction of robotic systems is a modern priority for further automation of human activities. Recent theoretical and practical developments in robotics have made it possible to introduce robots in areas of practical activities previously dominated by humans. Modern trend in robotics is in creating state of the art robotic systems with increased autonomy and expanded functionality. This will allow to relieve human, leaving him supervision functions. An emerging task in robotics is also to create an environment, assisting to create and introduce new perspective robotic systems, also bearing modernization capability. This can be done through improving of modern approaches of creating robotic systems. We foresee necessity to change some of robots’ life-cycle stages, which would allow to rapidly introduce new effective robots into production. The article in its beginning studies some most emerging directions in robotics and new ideas for more effective robotic systems design. During this one should find a balance between introducing drastically new technologies in new robot and perfectioning already existing technologies. Authors propose to use so-called modular-platform based approach for creating new robots. Within it they imply typical structure of a robot, suggesting to use basic platform as a basement for building new robots with varying usefull load. In such case same platform can be used for building inspection robots, unmanned transport systems, unmanned retransmitter etc. The paper presents some already built examples of the approach.

Recent developments in medical robotics have been significant, supporting the minimally invasive operation requirements, such as smaller devices and more feedback available to surgeons. Nevertheless, the tactile feedback from a catheter or endoscopic type robotic device has been restricted mostly on the tip of the device and was not aimed to support the autonomous movement of the medical device during operation. In this work, we design a robotic sheath/sleeve with a novel and more comprehensive approach, which can function for whole body or segment-based feedback control as well as diagnostic purposes. The robotic sleeve has several types of piezo-resistive pressure and extension sensors, which are embedded at several latitudes and depths of the silicone substrate. The sleeve takes the human skin as a biological model for its structure. It has a better tactile sensation of the inner tissues in the torturous narrow channels such as cardiovascular or endoluminal tracts in human body and thus can be used to diagnose abnormalities. In addition to this capability, using the stretch sensors distributed alongside its body, the robotic sheath/sleeve can perceive the ego-motion of the robotic backbone of the catheter and can act as a position feedback device. Because of the silicone substrate, the sleeve contributes toward safety of the medical device passively by providing a compliant interface. As an active safety measure, the robotic sheath can sense blood clots or sudden turns inside a channel and by modifying the local trajectory and can prevent embolisms or tissue rupture. In the future, advanced manufacturing techniques will increase the capabilities of the tactile robotic sleeve.

SUMMARYThis paper reviews the state-of-the-art in robotic tails intended for inertial adjustment applications on-board mobile robots. Inspired by biological tails observed in nature, robotic tails provide a separate means to enhance stabilization, and maneuverability from the mobile robot's main form of locomotion, such as legs or wheels. Research over the past decade has primarily focused on implementing single-body rigid pendulum-like tail mechanisms to demonstrate inertial adjustment capabilities on-board walking, jumping and wheeled mobile robots. Recently, there have been increased efforts aimed at leveraging the benefits of both articulated and continuum tail mechanism designs to enhance inertial adjustment capabilities and further emulate the structure and functionalities of tail usage found in nature. This paper discusses relevant research in design, modeling, analysis and implementation of robotic tails onto mobile robots, and highlight how this work is being used to build robotic systems with enhanced performance capabilities. The goal of this article is to outline progress and identify key challenges that lay ahead.

The study of bipedal robot locomotion lies at the fascinating crossroads of robotics and biomechanics. This field aims to emulate human walking patterns in robots by applying the principles of human gait to robotic systems. The specific method in this area involves oscillatory solutions, which utilize rhythmic patterns to create stable and efficient walking mechanisms. Here some oscillatory solutions for first-order neutral delay difference equations have been developed, contributing to the stability and effectiveness of bipedal robotic movement. When these oscillatory solutions are integrated into bipedal robots within the framework of 3D printing, a novel and innovative fusion of robotics and biomechanics emerges. This integration not only broadens the functional capabilities of bipedal robots but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of 3D printing technology.

Abstract The present work aims to design a soft, hyper redundant robotic gripper inspired by natural tendrils. The development of automation also requires extensive study in the field of biomimetic robotics. Most robotic systems are generally built using traditional rigid materials, such as hard plastics and metals. Creating accurate robotic systems necessitates the assembly of firm components connected at specific joints. Nonetheless, crafting a robotic system modeled after natural systems, comprising continuous deformable materials, is anticipated to match or exceed the capabilities of rigid robotic systems. Soft and highly redundant robotic grippers offer nearly limitless degrees of freedom (DOF) and elevated levels of kinematic redundancy. In the present work, a soft robotic gripper is proposed, inspired by plant tendrils that deform helically to hold the object on actuation. The work describes the initial design, material selection, method, important design parameters, an actuation mechanism and the simulation and analysis of the soft gripper. Such studies will be useful to industries and researchers in automation and biomimetic robotic systems.

This review article focuses on the development of robotics-based operations in the medical field especially in gynecology. The goal of the surgical robot is to improve surgical skills and compensate for human limitations. The robot's performance in performing duties correctly and consistently has been the key to its success. Tubal anastomosis was the first gynecologic surgery performed with Robotic assistance in 2000 followed by first Robotic Hysterectomy in 2002. In 2003 Da Vinci surgical system was developed which was FDA approved for gynecological surgery in 2005. It has gained popularity fast and is already playing a big part in many of the places where it is available. It consists of a high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) vision system adjacent to the patient on a cart with robotic branches. It provides unique technical advancement, with tremor filtration, improved ergonomics and lower muscular load as compared to both laparoscopic and open surgeries. Autonomous camera and energy instrument control, wrist articulation with 7 degree freedom, telestration and dual- console capabilities, overcoming the limitations of conventional laparoscopy, such as counterintuitive hand movements, 2 dimensional visualization, limited degree of motion and tremor amplification. Compared to laparoscopy, robotic assistance has a lower conversion rate to open procedures. Endo wrist movement of an automated machine during myomectomy surgery can perform proper and better suturing than traditional laparoscopy. The automated program is a noticeable improvement over laparoscopic surgery and, if price issues are resolved, can gain popularity among gynecological surgeons around the globe. Not unique to robotic system, the integration of indigo cyanine green fluorescence with the Da Vinci robotic system allows identification of lesions, and assessment of perfusion of bowel and ureter during deep infiltrating endometriosis resection.

Over the last years, capabilities of robotic systems have quantitatively and qualitatively improved. But going beyond isolated robotic systems, the integration and interoperability of robotic capabilities in complex work processes remains a major challenge. This lack of tools to integrate robots needs to be addressed on technical, semantic and organizational level. In the ROBxTASK research project, we developed an approach to support cooperation between different types of users in order to enable domain experts, with no robotic know-how, to work with robot-assisted workflows. By engineering robotic skills at a useful and usable level of abstraction for experts in different domains, we aim to increase re-usability of these skills on two different levels, (robotic) device level, and on level of application specific workflows. The researched prototype consists of a web platform, which allows (a) engineers to register (robotic) devices and the implemented skills of the devices, (b) domain experts to use a graphical task design environment to create workflows across multiple robotic devices and lastly (c) robot co-workers to download and execute the workflow code in a local environment with digital twins or real robots. Additionally skills and workflows can be shared across organisations. Initial user studies have shown that the visual programming environment is accessible and the defined skill-set is easy to understand even for domain experts that are inexperienced in the field of robotics.

Object recognition using the tactile sense is one of the leading human capacities. This capability is not as developed in robotics as other sensory abilities, for example visual recognition. In addition to a robot's ability to grasp objects without damaging them, it is also helpful to provide these machines with the ability to recognise objects while gently manipulating them, as humans do in the absence of or complementary to other senses. Advances in sensory technology have allowed for the accurate detection of different types of environment; however, the challenge of being able to efficiently represent sensory information persists. In this paper, a sensory system is proposed that allows a robotic gripper armed with pressure sensors to recognise objects through tactile manipulation. A pressure descriptor is designed to characterise the voltage magnitudes across different objects and, finally, machine learning algorithms are used to recognise each object category. The results show that the pressure descriptor characterises the different classes of objects in this experimental set-up. This system can complement other sensory data to perform different tasks in a robotic environment and future research areas are proposed to handle problems with tactile manipulation.

There are many examples in nature in which the ability to detect is combined with decision-making, such as the basic survival instinct of plants and animals to search for food. We can technically translate this innate function via the use of robotics with integrated sensors and artificial intelligence. However, the integration of sensing capabilities into robotics has traditionally been neglected due to the significant associated technical challenges. Inspired by plant-root chemotropism, we present a miniaturized electrochemical array integrated into a robotic tip, embedding a customized micro-potentiometer. The system contains solid-state sensors fitted to the tip of the robotic root to three-dimensionally monitor potassium and pH changes in a moist, soil-like environment, providing an integrated electronic readout. The sensors measure a range of parameters compatible with realistic soil conditions. The sensors’ response can trigger the movement of the robotic root with a control algorithm inspired by the behavior of the plant root that determines the optimal path toward root growth, simulating the decision-making process of a plant. This nature-inspired technology may lead, in the future, to the realization of robotic devices with the potential for monitoring and exploring the soil autonomously.

Due to the wide spread of robotics technologies in everyday activities, from industrial automation to domestic assisted living applications, cutting-edge techniques such as deep reinforcement learning are intensively investigated with the aim to advance the technological robotics front. The mandatory limitation of power consumption remains an open challenge in contemporary robotics, especially in real-case applications. Spiking neural networks (SNN) constitute an ideal compromise as a strong computational tool with low-power capacities. This paper introduces a spiking neural network actor for a baseline robotic manipulation task using a dual-finger gripper. To achieve that, we used a hybrid deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm designed with a spiking actor and a deep critic network to train the robotic agent. Thus, the agent learns to obtain the optimal policies for the three main tasks of the robotic manipulation approach: target-object reach, grasp, and transfer. The proposed method has one of the main advantages that an SNN possesses, namely, its neuromorphic hardware implementation capacity that results in energy-efficient implementations. The latter accomplishment is highly demonstrated in the evaluation results of the SNN actor since the deep critic network was exploited only during training. Aiming to further display the capabilities of the introduced approach, we compare our model with the well-established DDPG algorithm.

AbstractSoft Robotics has come to the fore in the last decade as a new way of conceptualising, designing and fabricating robots. Soft materials empower robots with locomotion, manipulation, and adaptability capabilities beyond those possible with conventional rigid robots. Soft robots can also be made from biological, biocompatible and biodegradable materials. This offers the tantalising possibility of bridging the gap between robots and organisms. Here, we discuss the properties of soft materials and soft systems that make them so attractive for future robots. In doing so, we consider how future robots can behave like, and have abilities akin to, biological organisms. These include huge numbers, finite lifetime, homeostasis and minimal—and even positive—environmental impact. This paves the way for future robots, not as machines, but as robotic organisms.

This review will examine the rapidly growing field of soft robotics, with a special emphasis on soft robotic actuators and their applications in bioengineering. Bioengineering has increasingly utilized soft robotics due to their mechanical adaptability and flexibility, with applications including drug delivery, assistive and wearable devices, artificial organs, and prosthetics. Soft robotic applications, as well as the responsive mechanisms employed in soft robotics, include electrical, magnetic, thermal, photo-responsive, and pressure-driven actuators. Special attention is given to hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic (HASEL) actuators due to their biomimetic properties and innovative combination of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) and hydraulic actuators, which eliminates the limitations of each actuator while introducing capabilities such as self-healing. HASEL actuators combine the fast response and self-sensing features of DEAs, as well as the force generation and adaptability of hydraulic systems. Their self-healing ability from electrical damage not only makes HASELs a unique technology among others but also makes them promising for long-term bioengineering applications. A key contribution of this study is the comparative analysis of the soft actuators, presented in detailed tables. The performance of soft actuators is assessed against a common set of critical parameters, including specific power, strain, maximum actuation stress, energy efficiency, cycle life, and self-healing capabilities. This study has also identified some important research gaps and potential areas where soft robotics may still be developed in the future. Future research should focus on improvements in power supply design, long-term material durability, and enhanced energy efficiency. This review will serve as an intermediate reference for researchers and system designers, guiding the next generation of advancements in soft robotics within bioengineering.

AbstractThis paper reports the implementation of a supervisory control framework and modular software architecture built around the lightweight communication and marshalling (LCM) publish/subscribe message passing system. In particular, we examine two diverse marine robotics applications using this modular system: (i) the development of an unmanned port security vehicle, a robotic surface platform to support first responders reacting to transportation security incidents in harbor environments, and (ii) the adaptation of a commercial off-the-shelf autonomous underwater vehicle (the Ocean-Server Iver2) for visual feature-based navigation. In both cases, the modular vehicle software infrastructures are based around the open-source LCM software library for low-latency, real-time message passing. To elucidate the real-world application of LCM in marine robotic systems, we present the software architecture of these two successful marine robotic applications and illustrate the capabilities and flexibilities of this approach to real-time marine robotics. We present benchmarking test results comparing the throughput of LCM with the Mission-Oriented Operating Suite, another robot software system popular in marine robotics. Experimental results demonstrate the capacity of the LCM framework to make large amounts of actionable information available to the operator and to allow for distributed supervisory control. We also provide a discussion of the qualitative tradeoffs involved in selecting software infrastructure for supervisory control.

Screws were graded clinically with the Gertzbein-Robbins Scale (GRS). Precision was assessed by a customized image processing pipeline. Euclidean error was calculated at screw head and screw tip. All points were normalized to a nominal screw, and confidence ellipses generated. Results: All animals were neurologically intact at 24 hours. All screws where GRS A. Mean tip and head Euclidean error where 2.47+/−1.25mm and 2.25+/-1.25mm respectively. Major and minor axes of the confidence ellipse at 99% was 2.19mm, and 1.28mm, and 2.07mm, and 0.42mm for tip and head respectively. Conclusions: 100% of screws obtained satisfactory clinical grading, with intact function in all animals post-operatively. This shows the capability of a supervisory-controlled 7DOF robot with OCT registration. Further investigation is warranted to further explore robotic capabilities, safety, and cost effectiveness.

Pars plana vitrectomy is a challenging, minimally invasive microsurgical procedure due to its intrinsic manoeuvres and physiological limits that constrain human capability. An important human limitation is physiological hand tremor, which can significantly increase the risk of iatrogenic retinal damage resulting from unintentional manoeuvres that affect anatomical and functional surgical outcomes. The limitations imposed by normal physiological tremor are more evident and challenging during ‘micron-scale’ manoeuvres such as epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane peeling, and delicate procedures requiring coordinated bimanual surgery such as tractional retinal detachment repair. Therefore, over the previous three decades, attention has turned to robot-assisted surgical devices to overcome these challenges. Several systems have been developed to improve microsurgical accuracy by cancelling hand tremor and facilitating faster, safer and more effective microsurgeries. By markedly reducing tremor, microsurgical precision is improved to a level beyond present human capabilities. In conclusion, robotics offers potential advantages over free-hand microsurgery as it is currently performed during ophthalmic surgery and opens the door to a new class of revolutionary microsurgical modalities. The skills transfer that is beyond human capabilities to robotic technology is a logical next step in microsurgical evolution.

Soft robots are a new class of systems being developed and studied by robotics scientists. These systems have a diverse range of applications including sub-sea manipulation and rehabilitative robotics. In their current state of development, the prevalent paradigm for the control architecture in these systems is a one-to-one mapping of controller outputs to actuators. In this work, we define functional blocks as the physical implementation of some discrete behaviors, which are presented as a decomposition of the behavior of the soft robot. We also use the term ‘stacking’ as the ability to combine functional blocks to create a system that is more complex and has greater capability than the sum of its parts. By stacking functional blocks a system designer can increase the range of behaviors and the overall capability of the system. As the community continues to increase the capabilities of soft systems—by stacking more and more functional blocks—we will encounter a practical limit with the number of parallelized control lines. In this paper, we review 20 soft systems reported in the literature and we observe this trend of one-to-one mapping of control outputs to functional blocks. We also observe that stacking functional blocks results in systems that are increasingly capable of a diverse range of complex motions and behaviors, leading ultimately to systems that are capable of performing useful tasks. The design heuristic that we observe is one of increased capability by stacking simple units—a classic engineering approach. As we move towards more capability in soft robotic systems, and begin to reach practical limits in control, we predict that we will require increased amounts of autonomy in the system. The field of soft robotics is in its infancy, and as we move towards realizing the potential of this technology, we will need to develop design tools and control paradigms that allow us to handle the complexity in these stacked, non-linear systems.
