I am excited to share my recent project: "Automated Medical Waste Segregation Using a Robotic Arm." In this project, I developed a system to automate the segregation of medical waste items such as syringes, gloves, cotton, and vials. A custom dataset of approximately 2000 images was used to train the YOLOv8 object detection algorithm to accurately identify these items. The robotic arm operates with ROS (Robot Operating System). Upon detecting the objects, YOLOv8 provides the coordinates to ROS, enabling the robotic arm to pick and place each item into specific bins based on the medical waste color code: blue, yellow, and red. This project showcases the potential of integrating advanced object detection algorithms with robotic systems to enhance efficiency and accuracy in medical waste management. Check out the video to see the system in action! #MedicalWasteManagement #Robotics #YOLOv8 #ROS #ObjectDetection #Automation #HealthcareInnovation

Very happy to share our recent work on small-scale robots. ?? ?? “Compared to traditional robotic systems, small-scale robots, ranging from several millimeters to micrometres in size, are capable of reaching narrower and vulnerable regions with minimal damage. However, conventional small-scale robots’ limited maneuverability and controlability hinder their ability to effectively navigate in the intricate environments, such as the gastrointestinal tract. Self-propelled capsule robots driven by vibrations and impacts emerge as a promising solution, holding the potentials to enhance diagnostic accuracy, enable targeted drug delivery, and alleviate patient discomfort during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. This paper builds upon our previous work on self-propelled capsule robots, exploring the potential of nonlinear connecting springs to enhance its propulsion capabilities. Leveraging a mathematical model for self-propelling robots with a von Mises truss spring, which is verified using a finite element model, we investigate the effects of negative stiffness and snap-back within the nonlinear structural spring on the robots’ propelling speed. Our analysis reveals that the negative stiffness of the?von Mises?truss can significantly reduce the sensitivity of the propelling speed to excitation frequency. As a result, the capsule robot exhibits a remarkably wider operational band where it maintains a high average propelling speed, surpassing its linear counterpart. This work sheds light on the potential for developing customized nonlinear structural systems for diverse scenarios in small-scale robot applications, opening up new possibilities for enhanced functionality and maneuverability in various biomedical applications.”

?? Step by step: how to automate an assembly process at a microscopic level ?? Automating the manual assembly of microscopic parts is no small feat. To take this challenge for a medical device manufacturer, Steven Douglas Corp. (SDC) leveraged Mecademic’s Meca500, the world's most precise and compact six-axis industrial robot. In the second part of our case study, you'll see how SDC integrated the Meca500 into this microautomation solution, drastically reducing cycle times and improving overall yield. ?? https://hubs.la/Q02SDCmM0 #Automation #Microautomation #MedicalDevices #Robotics #CaseStudy #Efficiency

The assembly of medical products is more in demand than ever. The depicted dial machine has all custom designed stations for assembly and testing, based on a standard design paradigm. Only two parts and a label were combined on this machine to create a specimen collection assembly; however, orientation, location of features, and print were critical. Vision systems transferred information to the 4-axis FANUC SCARA robots, which then oriented and aligned the top cover with the base. This machine can be easily upgraded to double output simply by changing nests on the dial and adding a second labeler. Check out our new video demonstrating optimized assembly capabilities and let us know if you would like to discuss a custom solution for streamlining your production! #CustomAutomation #FANUC #Robotics

?? Revolutionizing Hospital Sterilization with Robotics ??? Hospitals rely on sterile instruments to keep patients safe, but moving heavy, hot trolleys for sterilization is risky for staff. The Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) in Tasmania faced this challenge head-on during its recent redevelopment. OMRON Automation in Australia pitched a groundbreaking solution: integrating mobile robots to handle instrument transportation. Despite initial doubts, the team demonstrated the robots' autonomous navigation, obstacle detection, and safe interaction with hospital environments. ?? Collaboration was key! Partnering with Atherton, a top sterilization machine manufacturer, OMRON overcame programming challenges to ensure seamless robot integration. The result? Success! RHH now benefits from automated, safe, and efficient instrument sterilization, with OMRON LD-250 robots capable of handling up to 250 KG. This innovation not only improves safety but allows hospital staff to focus on more meaningful tasks. ?? OMRON continues to push the boundaries of technology, enhancing healthcare and contributing to a safer, more efficient society. https://lnkd.in/gm-dfKtH #HealthcareInnovation #Robotics #Sterilization #HospitalSafety #OMRON #Automation
