Background Immersive virtual reality (iVR) simulators provide accessible, low cost, realistic
training adjuncts in time and financially constrained systems. With increasing evidence and …

A substantial amount of studies have addressed the influence of sound on human
performance. In many of these, however, the large acoustic differences between …

In this work, we developed and validated a computer method capable of robustly detecting
drill breakthrough events and show the potential of deep learning-based acoustic sensing …

This two-volume set includes the latest principles behind the processes of drilling and
excavation on Earth and other planets. It covers the categories of drills, the history of drilling …

Our purpose is to assess if bone drilling sounds could be used to automatically distinguish
between hard-and soft-bone tissues. Such a capability could be of value in a variety of …

Objectives To investigate the real‐time sensitive feedback parameter of the motor bur milling
state in cervical spine posterior decompression surgery, to possibly improve the safety of …

Introduction Financial pressures and resident work hour regulations have led to adjunct
means of resident education such as surgical simulation. The purpose of this study is to …

Introduction Risks associated with drill plunging are well recognised in clavicle
osteosynthesis. To date no studies have described plunge depth associated with clavicle …

This article deals with the design of appropriate measures that had to be taken for the
implemented measurement system. The measurement result was significantly negatively …

The advent of augmented reality technologies used to assist human operators in complex
manipulative operations—has brought an urgency to research into the modeling and …
