... be useful in applications such as anchoring and sensor placement. This paper presents the theoretical basis for the timescales necessary to achieve such efficient digging and gives design parameters for a device to move at these timescales. It then uses RoboClam, a robot designed to imitate the razor clam's...

...Yucheng He; Peng Zhang; Haiyang Jin; Ying Hu; Jianwei Zhang Robots play an increasingly important role in the development of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). In MIS assistant robot systems, the remote center of motion (RCM) mechanism is a key component, and is the primary choice as end-effector...
