Human interactions with the environment and with others generate mechano-acoustic (MA) signals that encode rich information about physiological and biomechanical processes. Although these signals often attenuate at the skin-air interface, […]
Title: Nanomechanical DNA devices to program collective dynamics and interrogate biomolecules Abstract: Structural DNA nanotechnology is an emerging field with exciting potential for applications such as single molecule sensing, drug […]
ABSTRACT: Recent advances in surgical robotics have enabled innovative techniques that reduce patient trauma, shorten hospital stays, and improve both diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes. However, despite the many benefits […]
Cross disciplinary participants from across the region Engineering and Clinical Faculty Talks Faculty Panel Discussion Student Poster Presentations 6th Floor Trent Semans Building
ABSTRACT: Robotic assisted surgery (RAS) systems provide enhanced dexterity and precision but still require surgeons to control every motion, leading to long procedures and variable outcomes. While autonomous robotics has […]
