Abstract: A multi-degree-of-freedom continuum robot with a flexible target grasping function comprises a driving device module, a trunk simulation module and a nimble finger module. The trunk simulation module is composed of a rotary compression module and a bending compression module. Each module has a unified connection interface reserved at the end, and is combined and assembled according to actual needs. The driving module is arranged on the base of the robot to realize the driving operation of all cables to control the motion of the robot. The rotary compression module can simultaneously generate the motion in the forms of rotation and compression, thereby compensating for the defect of blind angle of the bending compression module. The bending compression module can realize compression deformation and bending deformation of the module independently. The nimble finger module realizes a grasping function by multi-finger collaboration.

Abstract: A method and a device for non-invasive blood pressure measurement wherein the angle between the hand and the wrist, and the turning angle of the wrist relative to the middle part of the forearm, are kept to the most suitable degree for measuring the blood pressure of the radial artery. At least one pressure bladder and one arterial pulse transducer array are placed on the skin over the radial artery of the wrist to apply the external pressure to the artery and to detect the change of the arterial pulse signals. This method and device can correctly measure the intermittent or continuous blood pressure of the radial artery or the ulnar artery based on the principles of oscillation method and volume compensation method, and effectively eliminate the influence on the measurement due to body movement and the influence on blood circulation and neural function of the hand caused by long-term blood pressure measurement.
