Abstract: A system for tracking at least one object in computer-assisted surgery may include a processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable memory communicatively coupled to the processing unit and comprising computer-readable program instructions executable by the processing unit for: obtaining orientation data from at least one inertial sensor unit on at least one object; concurrently obtaining position and orientation data for a robot arm relative to a frame of reference; registering the at least one object with the robot arm to determine a position of the at least one object in the frame of reference; and continuously tracking and outputting the position and orientation of the at least one object in the frame of reference, using the orientation data from the at least one inertial sensor unit on the at least one object and the position and orientation data for the robot arm.

Abstract: An electric motor rotor including a magnetic core, magnets fastened to the periphery of the magnetic core, and a wire wound with touching turns around the magnetic core and the magnets. The wire includes a metal core surrounded by an electrically insulating layer, itself covered by an outer sheath of thermo-adhesive material, the turns being fastened to one another by adhesion between mutually contacting portions of the outer sheath. A method of fabricating such a rotor. An electric motor including such a rotor.
