AbstractCrawling robots have elicited much attention in recent years due to their stable and efficient locomotion. In this work, several crawling robots are developed using two types of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs), namely, an axial elongation SPA and a dual bending SPA. By constraining the deformation of the elastomeric chamber, the SPAs realize their prescribed motions, and the deformations subjected to pressures are characterized with numerical models. Experiments are performed for verification, and the results show good agreement. The SPAs are fabricated by casting and developed into crawling robots with 3D-printing connectors. Control schemes are presented, and crawling tests are performed. The speeds predicted by the numerical models agree well with the speeds in the experiments.

NeuroPort is a low cost customized biodevice for minimal invasion surgeries designed within Servicio Neurocirugía UANL and Departamento de Ingeniería Biomédica; and manufactured by stereolithography, a high- resolution 3D printing method. This biodevice provides a channel of approach for subcortical and intraventricular cerebral surgical procedures with an intended use in the treatment of diseases such as brain tumors, anomalies or vascular malformations, parenchymal hematomas, among others. It has a design that minimizes tissue damage by displacing the tissues of the brain during the advance toward the desired abnormality; in addition to its integration with neuronavigational equipment and its own lighting system. All these features designed to make the surgical procedure faster and safer for the patient, facilitating the work of the neurosurgeon.
