摘要:
A body mountable robot may include a set of stages disposed in a parallel configuration. The body mountable robot may include a set of actuating joints, wherein an actuating joint, of the set of actuating joints, is configured to rotate with respect to a corresponding stage of the set of stages. The body mountable robot may include at least one actuator, wherein the at least one actuator is configured to actuate at least one actuating joint of the set of actuating joints. The body mountable robot may include a set of scissor mechanisms, wherein a scissor mechanism, of the set of scissor mechanisms, that is coupled to the actuating joint, is supported by the corresponding stage, and wherein the scissor mechanism is configured to translate with respect to the corresponding stage.
摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible sensor for measuring torque with respect to an axis of rotation in conjunction with an applied linear force includes a shaft arranged in a longitudinal direction substantially along the axis of rotation, a base component arranged along the axis of rotation and displaced with respect to the shaft, a torque detector assembly configured to be coupled to rotational motion of the shaft about the axis of rotation relative to the base component, and a linear-force detector assembly configured to be coupled to linear motion of the shaft from a force applied in a direction substantially coincident with the axis of rotation relative to the base component. The torque detector assembly and the linear-force detector assembly are substantially de-coupled from each other such that torque measurements are substantially independent of linear force measurements. The MRI compatible sensor consists essentially of MRI compatible materials.
