This simple STM setup utilises a piezoelectric actuator constructed by deliberately cutting a piezo speaker into four quadrants. With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants.

This robot, introduced in a paper published in the Journal of Bionic Engineering, is based on piezoelectric materials, a class of materials that generate an electric charge when subjected to ...

Rotational cutting tools, known as reamers, are used in a variety of orthopaedic surgeries ranging from intramedullary nailing of long bone fractures to total joint arthroplasty. Clinical concerns ...
