    • A 4-DOF Robot for Positioning Ultrasound Imaging Catheters 

      Loschak, Paul; Tenzer, Yaroslav; Degirmenci, Alperen; Howe, Robert D. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015)
      In this paper we present the design, fabrication, and testing of a robot for automatically positioning ultrasound imaging catheters. Our system will point ultrasound (US) catheters to provide real-time imaging of anatomical ...
    • The Feel of MEMS Barometers: Inexpensive and Easily Customized Tactile Array Sensors 

      Tenzer, Yaroslav; Jentoft, Leif Patrick; Howe, Robert D. (Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
      This article presents a new approach to the construction of tactile array sensors based on barometric pressure sensor chips and standard printed circuit boards (PCBs). The chips include tightly integrated instrumentation ...
    • Robust and Inexpensive Six-Axis Force–Torque Sensors Using MEMS Barometers 

      Guggenheim, Jacob; Jentoft, Leif; Tenzer, Yaroslav; Howe, Robert; Howe, Robert (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-04)
      Current commercial force-torque sensors are sensitive and accurate, but are also typically expensive and fragile. These features limit their use in cost-sensitive applications and unstructured environments such as people's ...
