Abstract: A soft-bodied apparatus and a method for opening an eyelid are provided. The apparatus includes: a head support module, a real-time eyelid positioning module, a robot end-effector real-time positioning module, and an automatic eyelid opening operation module. The automatic eyelid opening operation module includes a robot body and a robot control system. The robot body is provided with a multi-axis rigid body mechanical arm and a soft-bodied end-effector. The robot control system takes the real-time poses of the upper and lower eyelids of the user as a motion target, and takes the real-time shape and the pose of the soft-bodied end-effector as feedback information to control motion of the robot body to automatically open the eyelid.

Abstract: A handheld orthodontic tool includes a housing, electric motor, and a probe configured to engage a tooth. An operator applies manual pressure to the tooth with the probe, and the electric motor activates to vibrate the tooth through the probe. The orthodontic tool enables accelerating individual tooth or a group of teeth during orthodontic treatment to reach differential tooth movement speed, which will shorten the treatment time and reduce side effects including root resorption and anchorage loss.
