Abstract:
A surgical robot and a surgical robot control method ensure a stable change of an operation mode. The surgical robot includes a master device having an input unit, a slave device having at least one robotic surgical instrument that is remotely controlled by the master device, and a controller that performs a mode change process to gradually vary the strength of a feedback signal fed back from the slave device to the input unit for a predetermined time when a signal for a change of an operation mode is input via the input unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring bending of an object, a position of an item touching the object, and a shearing force of the item using an optical waveguide may include a frequency measurer to measure a frequency of light reflected from a grating of an optical waveguide, and a bending measurer to determine bending of an object to which the optical waveguide is attached using the frequency.
Abstract:
A wearable robot may be worn by a user to record or teach a motion, including a motion such as sign language. The wearable robot includes a mode to record sign language data in a system by a sign language expert wearing the wearable robot and a mode to teach the sign language data recorded in the system to a sign language learner wearing the wearable robot. A user who wishes to learn sign language may easily learn sign language. In particular, a disabled person, who has poor eyesight and is unable to watch a video that teaches sign language, may learn sign language very intuitively using the wearable robot. Further, a user who has normal eyesight may also learn sign language more easily than from using a video which teaches sign language or from a sign language expert.
